Open a new tab and type in the url tab:

I love this, I've been using this exact thing for a couple of years now - I think it appeared on HN before, I definitely can't take credit for it.

I have it bookmarked, and use it quite frequently, as it's the quickest way to write stuff down for temporary use.

Just click the "save" button in your browser - the file gets saved as a .html.

I love this also.

Any way to prevent TAB from unfocusing the textarea? Perhaps a javascript in the URL?

A neat aspect of this is that you can also use it to edit webpages based on the current structure in a WYSIWYG fashion. Just go to some page (Hacker News, Facebook, etc.), press Command-A, Command-C, open this URL into a new tab, and press Command-V.
