Keyboard Maestro
I talk about Keyboard Maestro's macro capabilities later, in Control Your Mac with Keyboard
Maestro ; there's also a coupon at the end of the topic for a 20-percent discount. For now, I
want to mention its clipboard capabilities:
• Multiple, named clipboards
• A history for your primary clipboard ( Figure 17 )
• Filtering the contents of any keyboard while pasting it, according to rules you
set up
• Optionally pasting plain text, even if you copied styled text
• Access to persistent clippings that you can see and use even after restarting
your Mac
• User-definable hot keys for working with clipboards

Note: Keyboard Maestro, like many of the utilities in this topic, uses the term hot key
(or hotkey ) as a synonym for keyboard shortcuts.
