Hi all,
Is there a way to select some text in TextMate with the mouse, then drag it to another application? What I'm trying to do is grab some text out of TextMate and create a note in Yojimbo by dragging it to a folder in Yojimbo's Drop Dock. I'm trying not to copy/switch app/ create note/paste.
Is there any way of doing this? I hope I'm not missing something obvious.
Carpe viam, Mike

Dragging text from TextMate to Yojimbo (either the dock icon or the "drop dock") works fine for me. Are you sure you're getting the text dragged? I have a tendency to click and drag too quickly sometimes, which just re-selects rather than dragging.

Bingo! Thanks Alan. It appears to have been my dragging technique. I've managed to get it working.

When you click, wait until the cursor changes from an I-bar into an arrow. That's the signal that you can drag text.
I think, Paul

I think,
Indeed. It takes 150 milliseconds to change, but this can be configured:
