Sure, nothing prevents me from pasting it in as plain text, but rather a separation between pure code snippets (to be pasted elsewhere) and info scraps would be something I'd prefer a lot. One of the reasons being that when I search for code snippets in the statusbar, I don't necessarily want to wade through all my info scraps to find the piece of code that I'm looking for. Likewise can be said about the opposite – when I want to refer to some saved information, I don't want to step through all my (pure) code snippets. Ideally, I'd like to separate these two conceptually different facilities – calling one "Snippets" and the other one "Scraps" – and then provide their own keyboard shortcuts for searching.
