Yojimbo Notes

2008-01-28 Thread John Stephens
I like storing my notes as plain text, and I also like having the  
option of linking things together, using tables, or other formatting  
if I need to. Yojimbo lets me do both, converting plain text to rich  
text on the fly if I choose to add a hyperlink or edit a table. Nice:  
I have plain text notes and rich text notes living side by side in  
perfect harmony.


My problem is when I paste formatted text into a plain text note.  
Doing this in TextEdit and other text editors I use begets plain  
text, which is what I want. In order to do this in Yojimbo, I have to  
press Shift-Alt-Command-V (Paste And Match Style), which may be  
Apple's punishment for trying to use keyboard commands. I'd like to  
get a behavior like what I have in TextEdit, where I can paste in  
text and remove the formatting. I couldn't find a preference pane  
that dealt with this. Any ideas?

Although there's no direct option to paste plain text, you can apply
Format - Remove Formatting subsequently to get the same effect.


(FWIW, since I often need to 'paste plain text' in different apps, I've set
up a Keyboard Maestro action mapped to Cmd-Shift-V, but there are plenty of
other ways to skin the same beast :-), e.g. Plain Clip.app, probably
QuickSilver or LaunchBar, or any of the autotyper tools like TextExpander
or TypeIt4Me with a plain-text shortcut for the clipboard contents.)
