Took a tour of Omnifocus, and the only thing I like better in their program so far is that when I capture a selection from a webpage it captures the link to the page along with the text. Also, like being able to capture a link to an email using just a keyboard command instead of having to drag and drop. Is that possible? Love this program!

Do you think this functionality could be added? Do you need more information about it?

I do however love the Quick Entry -- especially the hint of being able to make keyboard shortcut -- and also the fact the program does not then display. rrDog If I use the quick entry to copy a URL and the web site URL starts with https: which is used by secure sites ( my online bill sites ) Things does not recognize it as a web link.

I'm using SHIFT-OPT-CMD-SPACE as my trigger. One request, though... In the "Where" pull-down menu it would be wonderful if your actual projects, areas and people were selectable, so you could quickly add a task to the appropriate section, instead of having to go in the application afterwards and moving it to the correct location.

I really like being able to drag a file or email into the notes field - definitely saves time. I am using ctrl-alt-space.

I discovered that it will also accept other types of links - for example I am able to drag and drop a Journlr entry, and it will create a proper link to it. Taking the "New To-do Containing Selection as Note" service a step further, it would be nice to have something like the F-key trick in iGTD, which creates a new entry using the currently selected object for a number of supported applications. For example, at the moment, the new to-do service does nothing when a Mail message is selected (only if its text is selected), but it would be nice if it would create the entry with a link to the email message.

Well done. I use alt-space to bring it up. The mere fact that Quick Entry now works correctly in Leopard is awesome, let alone all the other improvements. Well done. I use alt-space to bring it up.
