Wow, you filled a huge gap I could not believe I couldn't find a solution before, and I've searched.

All I ever wanted to do on my desktop is this:

1) Select some text on the screen 2) Have the text AND the URL to the source copied to one place, without me having to manually copy and paste the URL.

I am a huge fan of collecting random clippings from the web. Your app saves me just enough clicks to make it worth while.

Thank you for implementing Markdown export.

I suggest you add one feature: the ability to not have to confirm the save - frictionless saving. Just save everything to one default place, don't have the app ask me anything.

Thank you for the suggestion and the feedback! I will do it tomorrow. I just have to decide if it should be a separate context menu item. If you have any other thoughts please let me know.
Preserving rich formatting would also be nice.
Thanks! Yes, I would like to do that too. Here is the outrageously long list of things I want to do with CrushPaper http://crushpaper.com/help/Future-Enhancements
OneNote already does this (at least the desktop version does). I also really like the web clipper bookmark to send the whole page to OneNote
