The Bucket
The bucket is your instant link to VoodooPad from anywhere on your computer. It pops up by hitting Command Shift 7 all at the same time. Type, paste, and drag things into VoodooPad without ever bringing the application forward.
To get started, have VoodooPad open with a document you'd like to use to store notes. VoodooPad doesn't have to be the active application in order for the bucket to open, it just has to be open on your computer. While you're in another application, like Safari or the Finder, hit the shortcut key Command Shift 7 (this can be changed in VoodooPad's preferences). You'll see the bucket pop up, giving you an area to type in, as well as some options to choose from at the bottom.
Typing in the bucket
The text area of the bucket works just like in VoodooPad. You can type, paste, or drag pictures and files into it. Give it a try.
Where the stuff in the bucket is going
Select the document and page you'd like the bucket to send the data to. You can select a page one of the following ways.
Start typing a page name, and the bucket will try to guess which page you mean.
Hit the triangle to get a list of pages to choose from.
Type a new page name and it will be created for you.
The bucket will also remember the last page you dumped things into, and fill that in automatically when you open the bucket.
The bucket in your browser
You can get the bucket to automatically pick up whatever you've got selected on a website by using this nifty bookmarklet. To add it to your web browser:
Select the text below
Click and hold on the selected text
Drag the text up into your bookmarks bar

Then hit it and see if it works. If everything worked according to plan, the bucket will pop up and whatever text you have selected will be automatically put into the bucket.
