Terminal Velocity (seanh's archived copy)

Terminal Velocity is a fast note-taking app for the UNIX terminal, that focuses on letting you create or find a note as quickly and easily as possible, then uses your $EDITOR to open and edit the note. It is heavily inspired by the OS X app Notational Velocity <http://notational.net/>. For screenshots and features, see the Terminal Velocity website <http://seanh.github.com/terminal_velocity>.

To install Terminal Velocity, run::

pip install terminal_velocity

Then to launch it just run::

terminal_velocity

To use a different notes directory, run::

terminal_velocity path/to/your/notes/dir

To see all the command-line options, run::

terminal_velocity -h

To quit the app, press ctrl-c or ctrl-x.

To upgrade Terminal Velocity to the latest version, run::

pip install --upgrade terminal_velocity

To uninstall it, run::

pip uninstall terminal_velocity
