TextExpander, it’s a trivial operation to convert the clipboard to text and paste in a single step, and one that reader Guy Scott uses all the time. The TextExpander shortcut is a thing of simplicity. The developer created it for people to be triggered via launching and macro apps like QuickSilver (used by Sage), Keyboard Maestro, and the like. Plain Clip has the sole function of stripping formatting from text, but it doesn’t do anything else. But text services in OS X apparently only apply when you have a range of text selected.) (I tried to get Apple’s Automator to handle this AppleScript by creating it as a Service and then assigning a keystroke in the Keyboard system preference pane’s Shortcuts tab to make it available to all apps that handle text. Oddly, AppleScript has no easy way to make paste part of the operation without a very wild set of menu and keypress manipulations. Now whenever you want convert the clipboard, just press that key combination, and you can paste plain text into any app. I’m using Command-Control-Option-V.įastScripts lets you assign keystrokes to trigger AppleScripts. Double click the “(none)” to the right of your script name, and type a keystroke combination to assign.
Now select FastScripts > Preferences from the FastScripts menu, and click Script Shortcuts.Save the script in the FastScripts user folder you opened in step 2.Paste in the exactly: set the clipboard to (get the clipboard as text).Launch Script Editor (from Applications > Utilities).Select FastScripts from the system menu bar, and select FastScripts > Open Scripts Folder > Open /Users//Library/Scripts.
