Finally - a way to do Paste Special with a keyboard shortcut!
Darrell posted about PureText last week which solves one of the most annoying things (to me, anyways): being able to post unformatted text. Finally - a keyboard shortcut for Paste Special! (I'm using Win-V, which is quite natural I guess).
Have you ever copied some text from a web page, a word document, help, etc., and wanted to paste it as simple text into another application without getting all the formatting from the original source? PureText makes this simple. Just copy/cut whatever you want to the clipboard, click on the PureText tray icon, and then paste to any application. Better yet, you can configure a Hot-Key to convert and paste the text for you. The pasted text will be pure and free from all formatting.
I've been using this for a week or so but I'm just getting around to blogging it now. It has some quirks but it's definitely a nice utility for the proverbial tool belt. And, of course, it's free.
