Quicksilver and Text Clippings
Sorry if everyone already knows this, but I use it all the time, and I’ve never seen it mentioned online.
Text clippings are those files you get by dragging selected text into the Finder.
You can drop them in text windows to “paste” the contents, and since the file name is the content, they make nice little reminders or notes in file form.
If you need a writing surface just to create a text clipping quickly (even opening TextEdit seems counterintuitive—why not just save a file?), Quicksilver has you covered. Hit the period key, type, and press tab.
Boom, text clipping. You can drag and drop it where you like. As a bonus, if your text is formatted like a url, it generates a webloc file (which you can double-click to launch the website) instead.
