So I'm a long-time Editorial user, but not a programmer. Most of the workflows discussion here is incomprehensible to me.

I see references to using Drafts to grab text from one place and then move it to Editorial. Hmm, OK. But how can I move text -- selected paragraph from a web page in Safari, or a tweet or FB post -- directly to Editorial?

If you manually copy the text in Safari, Twitter, or Facebook then you can switch to Editorial and executive a script like:

import clipboard
text = clipboard.get()
if text:
    print('Clipboard text is:', text)
else:
    print('Clipboard has no text.')

Cool, that's almost what I'm after.
