Hi all,

  To give some more solutions... you can also use a text expansion utility for that (Typinator, aText, TextExpander, Alfred, ...). For example, I'm using Typinator and by typing 'vv' I'm getting my clipboard in plain text.

However, if you prefer to simply use MailMate, I've built a Bundle that should do the same thing as those applications, but invoked directly from MailMate.

You can download it here: https://d.pr/f/U3oOv1

I have created two commands:

1. **Paste as plain text**: Which change your clipboard content to plain text and paste it to the front window 2. **Paste by typing**: Same thing, but doesn't change the content of the clipboard, it will type it as if you manually type the content

While creating them, I have added some keyboard shortcuts, but I'm not sure if it's a bug from MailMate, but on my side they are only invoked if I open the "Command > Paste (Extra)" menu item... If anyone tries it, maybe you can get back and let me know if the shortcuts work correctly on your side

Best,

If you use Alfred (a great replacement for Spotlight

, it also manages your clipboard for you and allows you to paste very easily without formatting. You use option-command C to pull up Alfred’s clipboard list, and then select which of your recent clipboard items you want to paste, and hit enter.

Or you set up a hotkey to "paste as plain text" as shown here:

The downside is, you need to buy the "Powerpack" (£29 ≈ €33 ≈ US$40) in order to use this functions. In my opinion, it’s absolutely worth it but I think this should be mentioned. (I assure you I’m in no way connected to the vendors of the application, nor do I receive any benefits for praising it, I’m just a satisfied user.)

Tobias
