Basically that: as I copy (Control-C) text from = the browser (Chrome), I would like those copied sentences to be sent to a o= rdered list in an OrgMode document:

- copied text 1
- copied text= 2
- etc.

Any ideas? This would be very useful.

On macOS I've done _similar_=C2=A0 thing= s to this (albeit not exactly what you're asking) by simply generating = org text for me to paste in.

For instance I have a= n applescript `org-current-tab`:

```
=E2= =80=A6
on org_current_tab()
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 te= ll application "Google Chrome"
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 set= the_title to title of active tab of front window
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 set the_title to my replace_chars(the_title, "[", " &= quot;)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 set the_title to my replace_chars(the= _title, "]", " ")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 return= "[[" & URL of active tab of front window & "]["= ; & the_title & "]]" as text
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 end tellend org_current_tab
```

Then from a= nywhere I can activate this applescript and all I need to do is whack `C-y`= in emacs and I get the link pasted in.

It's n= ot hard then to extend this directly into emacs via the `osascript` executa= ble:

```
(defun org-cu= rrent-tab
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 ()
=C2=A0 (interactive)
=C2=A0 (unless (eq= major-mode 'org-mode)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (user-error "This command = must be triggered in an org buffer."))
=C2=A0 (let* ((output (with-= temp-buffer
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0(call-process
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0= =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 "osascript" nil t nil
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 "-e" "t= ell application \"Finder\" to set current_tab_handlers to (load s= cript file \"current_tab_handlers.scpt\" of folder \"Dropbox= \" of home as alias)"
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 "-e" "tell current_tab_handl= ers to org_current_tab()")
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(substring-no-properties (thing-at-point = 9;line t) 0 -1))))
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 (insert output)))
```

I'm not sure what environment you're in so yo= u may not have access to a system's scripting tool like Applescript but= depending on the scripting facilities of whatever you're targeting may= be you can get most of the way there. At the worst you could add whatever t= ext you want to your clipboard and then write some elisp that processes it = before writing it to your org buffer.
