CRIMPING with ConnectedText, Brainstorm, and ResophNotes

Figured out a good solution.

Alex: Tried EmEditor’s outline mode and found it too rudimentary. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is what I’m going with:

First, have this free program installed:
Text Editor Anywhere
http://www.listary.com/text-editor-anywhere

This is what Text Editor Anywhere does:
When you’re editing text in a text field (ResophNotes, ConnectedText, Gmail, or anything else), you can press Windows-A.

This command copies the entire text field and opens up a new temp file in your favorite text editor (user-defined).

You can then edit the text in your defined editor.

When you’re done, you save the temp file and exit your favorite editor.

After you do this, the new text is pasted back into the original text field you’re working with.
Pretty handy little tool.

So, I made Text Editor Anywhere open up the free OPML editor when I press Windows-A.

When I’m editing ResophNotes notes, I shoot the text to the OPML editor.
I then use OPML to write notes.
The tree outliner format works great.

When I’m done, a tab-delimited text is shot back to ResophNotes and saved as a plain text file.
Works great!
