Tomfox Shuttles Web Text into Tomboy Notes
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 10:30 PM on July 24, 2008
Linux with Firefox only: Free Firefox extension Tomfox does exactly what a fan of the Tomboy note system might think. Adding a "Create Tomboy note" option to Firefox's right-click menu, it creates a new note from selected text. Even better, it puts the title of the web page at the top, and a link to the page at the bottom of your new note, helping you remember just where you grabbed that text from. Tomfox is a free download, works with Linux/Firefox and the Tomboy note program.

You can already do this in Windows with Google Notebook or Evernote.
Just kidding. I felt like someone needed to make a comment like that because every time there's a "Windows only" post on Lifehacker you always get one Linux guy who comments on the post about how the same can be done in Linux. =]

This is nice, thanks. With Tomfox and Tasque, Tomboy is finally becoming a truly useful tool.

I love Tomboy and I love Firefox. The extension seems ok, but I think I can live without it. If I find a useful website, I bookmark it or use Zotero.
