Not a solution, but  I would also like to see the possibility to send text
into zim.
I take daily diary notes during work into the Journal.
I normally work on command line in tmux and would like to stash things
without needing to shift focus to zim.
zim must of course have the page I want to stash into open and 'active' but
it is that anyway.
If it is possible to distinguish between different notebooks, that would be
good, but I can live with closing all other notebooks other than the one I
am logging into.

It will be a great help for distraction free hacking
