Thank you SO MUCH for this. I am a code hack from way back, with very poor math. In fact I got into SAGE primarily to learn the math that has been so lacking for far too long. I keep getting distracted with the code though (-:
Here is a thought - probably not new to you; How practical would it be to adapt the tools you have assembled to enable a user to do the following. 1) Drag mouse over an expression to highlight it, I am thinking about text in an unprepared document. 2) Right click to open a drop down menu that offers "edit in SAGE notebook cell" (approx). 3) (User edits to SAGE syntax, etc.) 4) Hit shift/enter, or click on evaluate. 5) All the usual things happen from the notebook server. This would be so much easier/better than the Wolfram Alpha tool bar I currently have in my browser, that I have to copy/paste into.
