The idea of a ready-and-waiting inbox sounds very interesting, but I can see a certain conflict with my current setup: Ctrl-F12 is used in Surfulater to create a new folder, and cannot be re-assigned. Is it possible to change the hotkey in CintaNotes?

An issue I have with these wonderful tools for collecting information is that they don’t always make it easy to get that information out, selectively, to other programs for further processing—by ‘easy’ I mean without going into a whole export routine just to output a few entries, and ideally not having to do it one by one. In this respect I wonder whether a clip manager like ClipCache, mentiond by JohnK here http://www.outlinersoftware.com/messages/viewm/9997 would be a preferable solution.

Is it possible in CintaNotes to select, say, 4-5 consecutive (or not) entries and copy them to another program with a couple of clicks/keystrokes?
