I have just purchased your software and am excited to start using it.
So far, it has replaced Text Expander, Hazel and QuickNotes, and I am
enjoying it very much. There is one more app I would like for it to
replace, and that is ClipMenu. But, before I do that, I really need
AutoClip to have an option to paste as plain text. Is this currently
possible? If not, could you integrate this in an upcoming update? The
only other desire is for AutoClip to have a contextual menu upon the
keyboard shortcut rather than the strange black box that you have to
arrow through. Thank you.

Both are good suggestions, and I try and add good suggestions as fast as I can. Do you have a suggestion about how pasting as plaintext should work?

Well, I really like the way ClipMenu implements their clipboard
functionality. The way it uses a "paste as plain text" function is you
assign a keystroke along with the "clicking" of the item to paste. I
used shift+click=paste as plain text. Let me know if I can help you
out in any way.

I've put in some code to make Option-Click in the menu to paste plaintext. How does that sound?

That sounds awesome! When will this release come out? I will
definitely report this amazing customer support in MacUpdate, and will
continue to give feedback as I use your software. Thanks again for
everything.

A few days or so I'll put out an update. I might give you a beta version to check out. I'm half way now through making the other change of making the popup be a menu as well, as you suggested.
