Tomboy is a GNOME note-taking application that enables you to organize the ideas and information you deal with every day. Among other things, it can help you collect and sort all kind of data, write down your ideas, allocate your contacts and make to-do lists.
Tomboy also has some useful editing features to help you customize your notes, including:
Highlighting search text
Inline spell checking
Auto-linking Web and email addresses
Undo/redo support
Font styling and sizing
Bulleted lists
Tomboy is located on the GNOME panel, and by default is started
automatically when you log into GNOME. You can also access Tomboy by
clicking
To create a new note, click the Tomboy Notes icon in your GNOME Panel,
then select
To edit the note, click the content area, then use the keyboard to add
and remove content. The first line of the note contains its title. By
default, this is populated with the text New Note
. You can change the title by
clicking the line and using the keyboard. By default, focus is given to
the content area upon creation of a new note, so you can immediately
start editing the note without clicking the content area. For more
information on formatting the contents of a note, see
Section 9.5, “Formatting Text in Notes”.

Your note is saved automatically.
You can then organize the notes you create by linking related notes and ideas together. Fore more information, see Section 9.3, “Linking Notes”.
