NAME

       gnote - A simple note-taking application for Gnome

SYNOPSIS

       gnote [OPTION] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gnote command.

       Gnote 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.

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

       When run without any options, either a Search All Notes window or the Gnote  note  menu  appears  in  the
       notification  tray  area depending on configuration.  Selecting a note from a list in Search All Notes or
       from the menu from notification area 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 Gnote notes and dialogs.  These keybindings are  set  in
       GSettings (see below) and may be activated from any application.
