Plain Clip
Plain Clip is a tiny Mac OS X application which will remove formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It's designed as a faceless application (i.e.: no graphical user interface, with the exception of the preferences window), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey / launcher applications such as Spark or LaunchBar. For users of such tools, Plain Clip offers a way to invoke it with a shell command, which makes it possible to emulate a “Cmd-V” / “Paste” keyboard shortcut after the clipboard’s content has been converted.
Moreover, since version 2.0 Plain Clip has offered removal of trailing whitespace and control characters such as non-breaking spaces. Plain Clip 2.1 introduced another optionally text filter: line breaks can be removed, but at the same time consecutive line breaks are retained, so that paragraphs in the text are preserved. Finally, Plain Clip 2.2 added removal of consecutive spaces and version 2.3 supports conversion to 7-bit ASCII.
