[SOLVED] Like gnote, but with no GNOME deps?

Hello,

I use gnote for notetaking on my desktop, and really like it, except that it requires GNOME libraries which is what I want to avoid on a lightweight system.

So I would like to know if there exists a similar tool but that doesn't need GNOME. I'm not looking for a "desktop wiki" like ZIM, it's way too much for what I want, just something that can be easily accessed via a keyboard shortcut, allows links and has some basic search features.

Thanks!

I use notecase.  It is probably a bit basic given your description of what you want...

Ctrl-\ for search and replace... (and Ctrl-R if you don't want to replace anything).

honorable mentions: vim, and to be politically correct, also emacs

OK, notecase will do it for now. Or I will resort to text-files + grep

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sorry, I missed this thread so far, but --

If you ever want to go the vim route ( ) then have a look at Vim Outliner (vim-vimoutliner package in the AUR).

It utilizes basically plain text files. I use it regularly for keeping todos as well as almost all of my notes.

I recommend Emacs & Org-mode.

I know, "solved", but how about code-browser?  It's in the AUR.  I don't think people really consider it but its pretty nice--different, but nice.

I know its solved and old, but for those that might search the forums, zim is extraordinarily light and does not require the know how that vi(m) and emacs requires.
