# Documentation

Everything in the README, split by topic. The in-app ? page is always the source of truth for keys.

• Getting startedInstall tnotes with Homebrew, cargo or a prebuilt tarball, open your first notes folder, and learn the layout of the terminal UI.
• Keyboard and mouseEvery tnotes keybinding for the list, tree and editor, in emacs and vim modes, plus mouse actions.
• ConfigurationEvery key in tnotes' config.toml with its default — roots, appearance, editor (emacs/vim, autosave, wrap, width) and theme colours.
• CLI referenceThe headless tnotes commands — ls, search, cat, new, append, write, trash, restore — with --json output, filters, stdin input and note ids.
• Sync and encryptionSync tnotes with Syncthing, iCloud Drive, Dropbox or git, and encrypt the vault with FileVault, gocryptfs or fscrypt — how conflicts and atomic saves keep notes safe.
• Use with AI agentsRecipes for Claude Code, Codex, cron jobs and shell scripts that read and write the vault through the CLI.
