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 dis‐
       plays 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 highlight‐
       ing, 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.

GCONF SETTINGS
       Tomboy has several preference settings stored  in  GConf.   Changes  to
       Settings	 are  applied instantly to any running Tomboy instance. A sum‐
       mary of the GConf settings and their purpose are described below.
