Hotkeys for Omnifocus/Firefox

Posted by: John Heintz on 01/06/2009

Until I get a chance to try out this integration for Firefox and Omnifocus (http://forums.omnigroup.com/archive/index.php/t-4510.html) I wanted to make a record of the hot keys I'm using right now.

Goal: Get a link to the current page I'm viewing in Firefox into a new task in Omnifocus.

Steps:

Command-L to get the browser location URL highlighted.
Command-C to copy that location.
Control-Alt-Space to open a new Omnifocus inbox item.
Type a short description of the new task.
Command-' to open the entry field for the notes. (This is single quote, not back tic.)
Command-V to paste the previously copied URL.

It works, avoids using the mouse, but that is too many steps.
