I dream of LJ features, because I am a great big dork.

You know what I want? A temporary "memories". More precisely, a "bookmark this post and/or link until I get home and can read the long and/or non-worksafe stuff" feature. Because I like checking in on y'all throughout the day (and my FL is so damned chatty I'd never keep up otherwise), but I hate that "read smut in paranoia now or lose it forever" feeling.

Sometimes I stick them in my regular memories, but then they're hard to find and hard to delete and to get that little "add memory" button I still have to at least open the thing on the work computer, even if it's just for a minute. I want a button that saves the post (without actually opening it) to the "stuff to check out later" list. And then once you check it out it disappears from the list, unless you add it to your regular memories. Like LJ Tivo.

I still have to open the link to cut and paste it, unfortunately. Otherwise I get just the linking text ("this is interesting", or whatever).

There should be something in menu you get when you right-click on a link that copies the link to the clipboard. It's called "Copy Link Location" in Netscape/Mozilla; IE has it too, but I forget what it's called.

"Copy Shortcut". A beautiful and wonderful feature indeed.

*That's* what that means? Thank you tons and tons and tons. I'd assumed it was the same "shortcut" that Windows XP uses to access local files.

You're welcome--I'm not even sure how I found it, but I'd hate to live without it.
