Do you know how many times it happens that you ask the universe for something that didn't exist at breakfast time and before dinnertime it appears. Literally once in my entire life. Thanks for that!

If we ever cross paths, I will likely try to hug you. It will be awkward, for both of us. But it will happen none the less.

Brett,

I installed these services, and set up a keyboard shortcut. It seems to copy the selection without exploding, but when I paste it.... it's some sort of german block of HTML instead of what I copied. Not sure if I can paste it here, but let't try:

Just a short text with some umlauts

Weit hinten, hinter den Wortbergen, fern der Länder Vokalien und Konsonantien leben die Blindtexte. Abgeschieden wohnen Sie in Buchstabhausen an der Küste des Semantik, eines großen Sprachozeans. Ein kleines Bächlein namens Duden fließt durch ihren Ort und versorgt sie mit den nötigen Regelialien. Es ist ein paradiesmatisches Land, in dem einem gebratene Satzteile in den Mund fliegen. Nicht einmal von der allmächtigen Interpunktion werden die Blindtexte beherrscht - ein geradezu unorthographisches Leben. Eines Tages aber beschloß eine kleine Zeile Blindtext, ihr Name war Lorem Ipsum, hinaus zu gehen in die weite Grammatik. Der große Oxmox riet ihr davon ab, da es dort wimmele von bösen Kommata, wilden Fragezeichen und hinterhältigen Semikoli, doch das Blindtextchen ließ sich nicht beirren. 

Now I don't speak German, and I sure can't type in German. Any ideas why it's doing that?

Was the download 1.2.2? Sometimes the caching takes a while for the new versions to show up... but I downloaded and tested before I announced, pretty sure it's working!

It was 1.2.2. I just re-downloaded and the file size was different, and now it works perfectly!

Thanks again Brett, this keeps my fingers on the keyboard where they belong.

Argh. I'm too tired and I packaged the test version. Will fix shortly.

Whew! I thought I was subconsciously typing in German. I'm quite relieved now :D

Well, the HTML in that pasted text didn't display as I expected. The first line is wrapped in an H3, and the rest is in a P. Not sure if that matters or not.

Thanks for the updated service tools. Bigger thanks for the tip on UTF-8 & pbcopy. This just fixed two issues I was having with two scripts I was working on. I had no idea. Thanks again. Always look forward to your posts.
