I do a lot of pdf reading in DEVONthink and very often I need to snippet sections of the text and create a new plain text file. This requires I to select the text, copy it, open new file in separate tab, add the text, add a link to the pdf and add the citation key so I know from which pdf is the snippet and a date when I snipped it. At the end I need to title the new plain text file. I can do all this manually, but while I am doing it it de-focuses me from my reading. Thus, I used BetterTouchTool to automate the process.
