Sounds like this writer is talking about two different things: 1. dragging/pasting ideas from an idea section directly into a writing program. This is where s/he's sitting comfortably somewhere actually working. 2. Scribbling ideas "on the fly" - which can happen anywhere (on the bus, walking down the street, etc..) For the second, I like simplenote[0] and their tagging feature. Lots of support for various OSes. On 32-bit LinuxMint, I'm using nvPY[1] since simplenote doesn't have a 32-bit deb. In order to solve both problems, the writing program could support something like simplenote via plugin. This way s/he gets their left-hand, drag/paste panel. Note: also like https://standardnotes.org/ https://standardnotes.org/ but could not get it to run on my older phone, no 32-bit linux support.
