Ubuntu – search tomboy notes with dash

There is a Tomboy Unity lens that enables one to search through Tomboy notes in the dash. To install, open a terminal and add the appropriate ppa to your software sources:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:remi.rerolle/unity-lens-tomboy

Then update

sudo apt-get update

Then install the package:

sudo apt-get install unity-lens-tomboy

You might need to log out and back in to get the search functionality.

Gambas3 has an option to install UnitySC which lets you fill out a form and create items which will appear in Unity Dash. The unity plugin, doesnt create an application interface, but you can do that with gambas. Instead, you run UnitySC and fill the form accordingly, to get a link to the item in dash, and Icons, comments, etc.

So, when I compiled Gambas3, It did not make an Icon for gambas3 in the Dasah menu. Ah, but I can fix that right now! here using the UnitySC tool, I added gambas3 to the dash menu, and to the unity bar, with the Icon I screen captured from the gambas website.
