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?
