I use Workflowy for this. In the url bar, I type: w <enter> Or, if you're a a super-organized shortcut-type, w <enter> <esc> "@misc" Bonus points -- co

  I use workflowy too, but I'm not sure what you're talking about. `w <enter>` is going to send you to the first site with w in the name (which in my case is 'wikipedia.com' - I have to type 'wor' for workflowy.com to be selected). The `<esc> @misc` part also doesn't make sense. That just does a search for tags, it doesn't put you in a mode to just write, which is what the OP's solution does. Last but not least, a little pro-tip for ya, since you like the command line (or keyboard shortcuts as they are also called:) : Command-L puts the cursor in the location bar. So you can do <cmd>+L w <enter>. Also, shift back to a previous tab with cmd+shift+[ and +].

    I'm simply describing my workflow -- Workflowy is easily my #1 "w", so that's why this works for me. Probably not very helpful -- I just thought I'd illustrate the "exact" same steps I take to achieve the same effect. Same goes for "@misc". When I want to brain-dump some gibberish, as in the OP's use case, the @misc tag contains a big dump of stuff that I generally refine or delete later. I don't know why I don't use ctrl+l -- i usually use ctrl+e or ctrl+k and then backspace (why do these do the same thing in chrome?). But yeah, thanks for the advice.
