tags: chapter search tags help find tags autosave unique item save tutorial

- Finding Tags -

What can you do if you forget the tag you used for a certain record? Not to worry - filter boxes allow you to search for tags interactively; enter any substring of the tag, whether it's in the beginning or middle and a drop down box will show all matching tags. You can move in the results box by using cursor keys and choose highlighted tags by hitting Enter or by clicking on them. Once tag is chosen from list, you can hit Enter again to list items using current tags.

You can also click in the filter box or use down keyboard key to pick from the list of recently searched tags and favorite tags. Recent list will be on top and contain 5 recently used tags, right below it you will see the list of favorite tags that can be added and removed from Tags menu.

You have to hit Esc to use text you typed in as-is, since Enter will always load a match from drop-down box if there is at least one match. This can be confusing because exact match is not necessarily highlighted in the drop down menu.

- Automatic Saves -

Note of caution - Tobu is geared for entering large number of small-to-medium items quickly, for this reason it saves an item automatically when you do any of the following actions: enter a new item, open a new tab, switch to a tab, load a new item from the list, close current tab, quit the program. It follows, then, that you almost never need to use the Save button. On the other hand, this means that you have to be careful not to make unwanted changes to an item and save it by performing any of the actions listed above.

Tobu has multiple levels of Undo, hit ctrl-Z repeatedly to undo editing actions and ctrl-Y to revert them (redo).

- Unique items -

If a new item has the same title and tags (in any order) as an old item, Tobu will give you an error message asking you to change title or one or more tags. You are allowed to have the same title only if tags are different.
