Gnome: drag text to file
Got this one by accident. In Gnome, if you drag some text and drop it to desktop or nautilus, it creates a file with the dragged text in it. Simple, but might come handy sometimes..
wasn't aware of similar function on OS X, but it auto names the file with first few words and open as small convenient text box. Amazingly when I dragged the file to text box, it behaved as clip of text rather than file, I repeated same process with text file but without any success. It feels nice to discover something by yourself :)
Drag the text
After dropping, you land into file rename mode :)
