For those who many be discovering Yoink via the Automators Alfred episode (76: Automating with Alfred), I thought I’d mention that using the global shortcut for Yoink has two secret tricks (I use the heck out of the first one especially):
⇒ Long-press to restore previously removed files
⇒ double-press to save the clipboard’s contents
I use the hyperkey-Y to toggle Yoink: ⇧⌘⌥⌃-Y

I appreciate the video, but since I’m not all that familiar with Yoink, I’m not sure what it’s actually showing me.
What does this feature allow you to do that would have been more difficult to do otherwise?

@Tjluoma I work a lot with ScreenFlow 9 and there you can not copy and paste templates into the timeline.
Here is me Yoink, in conjunction with Keyboard Maestro just great help and saves me a lot of time. The advantage is that my template always appears at the cursor.
