PlainPad 1.4.0 released

The new version of PlainPad is now available on the Mac App Store.

This update for PlainPad introduces an interesting new feature: the TextButler system. Originally a rather simple request to remove spaces when pasting from the clipboard, I designed TextButler to cover various scenarios in text processing.

With TextButler, text in MySuperCoolApp can be flexibly adjusted – using keyboard shortcuts or the menu, either when inserting or on existing text. Using “recipes” with freely combinable "ingredients" like trimming, replacing, or templates, text editing becomes simple, fast, and precise.

Another new feature is the option to automatically copy selected text to the clipboard.

All further details about this update can be found in the following list of changes.
