I frequently encounter lists of things that I want to turn into actions, but I couldn't figure out how to get a bunch of items copied and pasted into OmniFocus, and several times I manually re-typed numerous items that I could have pasted if only I’d known how. Turns out it's really easy. But I was so stumped for a while there that I thought I'd submit it to the forum as a tip — I can’t be the only one. Can I? :-)

All you have to do is NOT be in a text field.

If you're already typing the name of a project or action, pasting a list of CR-delimited items will simply result in a single multi-line action.

But if the action/project is selected (click on the bullet, or slightly to the left of disclosure triangles), then a pasted list will be inserted as a list of new, separate actions.

D'oh. So easy.
