I think someone mentioned that installing Pronvit's webkit-eal would accomplish this. No real walkthrough needed, just make up your mind that you'd rather use webkit than gecko, and install it... I think it might even be in Extras these days, but not sure.

i recall having a issue with webkit-eal, it seemed to take forever to load the file. could be because i had a unicode letter in there (note handles that fine, microb tries to read it as ascii)...

hmm, never mind, i just tested, and webkit-eal has the same issue as microb...

and its less stable

Remember that you can freely change which program is responsible for viewing files; whether it be leafpad, Pygtkeditor, etc.

A related option, but one I think would prove annoying, is to monitor clipboard, and when it changes, bring up a dialog asking you where to save it (or cancel), but the heavy use of clipboard rather than primary on a touchscreen means you'd be canceling that dialog infuriatingly often.
While this may work for some needs, it wouldn't help with what I want. The great thing about Quick Clip is that I can quickly get things copied; I don't want to have had to copy anything to the clipboard first, as the method you suggest would require. For me the issue is that I prefer the browser in full-screen mode and Quick Clip is not available in that mode; but neither is any other program that would copy to the clipboard.

Do you think getting a hardware key to trigger Quick Clip is too tricky?

I removed the user.conf as instructed and installed your deb, and every single thing seems to work just great. (I'm using Diablo.)

Thanks!

I updated the .deb & link in the first post (it is now the same as the, apparently, working version I posted a little while ago).
