No, you’re right, I haven’t solved that particular problem yet. Although Scrivener 1.5.3.0 suddenly got a lot quicker, so it might work out in the end. As if the Scrivener people have been reading this thread… :)

I think an AutoHotkey script (or some other macro) would be more convenient. In the end all the script would need to do is 1) cut selected text and everything below it, 2) create new note, 3) paste text, using selection as title. AHK is on my list of things to learn…

There is something immensely friendly about The Guide. The only thing I really miss is a word count facility - Germanists should note that it does count characters, which is already useful. It’s one of the most honed two-pane outliners out there.
The elegant universal Search function (Ctrl+Shift+F) is just the icing on the cake (it’s separate from the Find function, which works within notes).

I’ve settled on the Guide as my light-weight dual-pane outliner of choice, but I’ve just come across Flashnote, which also seems to fit into this category:
