One is Shortcut Bar and the other is Unclutter. As I write this, I’m considering two other tools for the Mac that could even replace Pastebot and Copied. I’m constantly looking for improvements in my workflow. The former is way faster but puts more pressure on your memory because of the need to remember all those keyboard combinations. A keyboard shortcut is preferable to a menu bar item. One key thing to consider when selecting a tool is the tool’s invocation speed the quicker, the better.

This recently discovered safari extension allows me to copy a URL and paste it in markdown format in text editing apps like MarsEdit or while using the native version of Micro.blog app. It takes just a few seconds to process, and the shortcut asks me what to do with the resulting file at the end.
