Use the Journler service menu from inside Journler
Literally just stumbled onto this one. I didn’t even think to try it before, and I think it may have been by accident, but I had the url selected for a website I was visiting with the Entry > New Web Browser command and I hit Cmd-shift-J, the shortcut for the Journler service menu.
Well that thing fired right up! Journler dropped the drop box dialog on me and imported the url as a webarchive, then selected it and let me continue browsing! It was one of those, “Huh, I didn’t know I could do that” moments.
This’ll work with any selected text. Select some text in an entry, a url, or a picture — be sure to actually select a range of text that contains a url or contains a picture — and hit Cmd-shift-J. Journler ought to create a new entry for it. I could probably find ways to improve this now that I know about it.
Be sure to have a look at Journler’s Media preferences. Check “Select imported media by default” and “Create web archives when importing urls.”
Edit
Yeah, you want the Cmd-SHIFT-J shortcut. The shit key will be a tough one to find. =)
