NAME

       tomboy - A simple note-taking application for Gnome

SYNOPSIS

       tomboy [OPTION] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tomboy command.

       Tomboy  is  a  desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use,
       but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.

       Tomboy's usefulness lies in the ability to  relate  notes  and  ideas  together,  using  a
       WikiWiki-like linking system.

       When  run  without  any  options,  the  Tomboy  note  menu  appears  in  the Gnome Panel's
       notification tray area.  Selecting a note  from  the  menu  displays  the  note's  spatial
       window.

       Changes  to  notes  are  saved  automatically.   Links to URLs, files, and other notes are
       detected as you type.  Rich editing such as highlighting, bold,  italics,  undo/redo,  and
       variable font sizes are supported.

       Global  keybindings  exist  to  allow  fast  access  to  Tomboy  notes and dialogs.  These
       keybindings are set in GConf (see below) and may be activated from any application.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,  with  options  starting  with  two
       dashes (`--').  A summary of options are included below.

       --new-note
              Create and display a new note.
