in terms of features, nearly all the features that the registered version has that the free version hasn't are not to do with the actual text editing functions.

Yes, I don't think it does web clipping in the way those other programs do. The clipping it does do, is just the usual sort of screen shots, images, text etc but it does work and is integrated in the program. Web clipping is more of an archive/PIM thing - and as I said, it claims to be a PIM, but I've never seen it as one, and feel it is just a (very good) text editor.-Dormouse
This is where we differ, as I'm primarily concerned with keeping Web clips, plus my own text notes, in one convenient program with good searching. I've never tried a modern Windows PIM/outliner for content
creation. I'm unlikely to need that now, and would find it hard to adapt, after years of using pencil and paper, and DOS WordStar-style editors. I see the point when you need to combine self-generated material with outside sources into a coherent whole, of course.
When I used the free version, I never felt the slightest need to upgrade, and only upgraded to the Pro version on a BdJ offer because I felt it would be good to pay something for a program that I used regularly.-Dormouse
I did something like that with the last free version of ClipCache, registering as a thank-you but never bothering to install the registered version until the old one proved no longer reliable on later versions of Windows.
I don't used keyboard shortcuts, so I hadn't noticed that - I also tend not to use Help files. What it does have is a lot of options on the menus (top & right click), so I have always found it very easy to explore the possibilities of the program. Depends how you do things, which is one of the reasons I think these programs are very subject to personal preference.-Dormouse
Indeed so; again we differ, as I really like to have hotkeys, especially for new Web clip and add more content to current note.
I've also been tempted back into using Ultra Recall more since trying Rightnote, and it does do a lot of things pretty well; quite a number of similarities with Rightnote, all in Ultra Recall's favour with exception of the Opera clipping. But Rightnote still seems to be progressing while UR seems not to be.-Dormouse
I've seen the comment that UR's interface is confusing, but suspect that familiarity plays a big part. I have to say I haven't used click.to myself, but, could you get UR to clip from Opera by using
click.to as a helper app? The author of
All My Notes Organizer has used this approach instead of adding web clip hotkeys or actions in his own program. Details here:
Integrate AllMyNotes to work with click.to [web-clipping]. Maybe something similar might work for UR.
