If you’re using Textpattern like me, or even the stand-alone Textile editor, you may find this bookmarklet useful. It copies the title of the page and url – in Textile URL format – to the clipboard.
Ready to paste right into a Textile window. Exceptionally useful when blogging. It’s IEwin only, I’m afraid.
Add this to your favorites: javascript:void(window.clipboardData.setData('Text',unescape('%22')+'('+document.title+')'+unescape('%22')+':'+document.location))
Any feedback or suggested modifications, let me know.

What would be the next best option if the data wasn’t copied to the clipboard? How about a small popup window containing the text so that it could be copied manually?
I reallly liked your idea and I tried it in Firefox, without success. Actually, it could work, but you would need to enable copy to clipboard for all scripts in the browser, which is not secure…
Playing around with it, I came up with this work around:
javascript:void(prompt(”“,’(’+ document.title +’) ‘ + document.location));
The title and URL are selected in the prompt area, all that’s needed then is to Ctrl+C it and close the dialog box.
Not as neat as having it already in the clipboard in a single click, but I can live with that.
