Changing from SOHO Notes: Replacement?

I've used Stickybrain, and now SOHO Notes, for years, but SOHO has reached the new-annoying-bug-every-release stage for me, and so I'm desiring to find a replacement.

I'm trying one or two programs now (Yojimbo, Mori), but what I will miss most about SOHO is the copy-from-any-app hot key, which doesn't seem to exist anywhere else. I'm okay with the drag-and-drop that Yojimbo uses, except for the lack of the tag line that SOHO Notes used to add. For example, if you copied something off of a web page, the bottom of the new entry contained the URL.

I don't always want to copy/save a whole web page, but I often want to know where something came from. Is SOHO Notes that only program that does that automatically? I'd jump ship pretty quickly if there's another app that automatically adds the URL to a copied entry.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
