Great, more users and more testing is always needed.  Don't hesitate
to report bugs or ask questions on the list! :-)

No, global keybindings are not supported on the Mac at this time.  I'm
sure it's doable but it will require some research to do correctly.

future.  It's not really the same as Tomboy but it has a nice focused
workflow.
