That would be awesome, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I agree with your comment that making things more generic would be better.  I vote to also let it trigger an internal transformer-- with regex support in there, you can do some pretty powerful transformations without having to write an external script.

Also, thanks for the quick response.

I'd like to have the ability to automatically apply a preset format modification based on the application I cut the text from.  My particular use case is this: I use Lotus notes for email, and when you do a copy a link to a document, it gives you something that looks like this:

Andre Asselin - email subject
<NDL>
<REPLICA 853F6275:0A3F7821>
<VIEW OFFD88E3E0:82915F9B-ON853566A4:0168B3AA>
<NOTE OFA2138B53:9140774A-ONB62A7783:0444C6B7>
<HINT>CN=D03NM123/OU=03/OU=M/O=IBM</HINT>
<REM>Database 'Andre Asselin', View 'Inbox', Document 'email subject'</REM>
</NDL>

If you transform that to this:

Notes://D03NM123/853F62750A3F7821/FD88E3E082915F9B853566A40168B3AA/A2138B539140774AB62A77830444C6B7

you get a link that can actually open from other applications.  I can write a preset (using regex), and press CTRL-ALT-Q to bring up the menu, and pick the transform from the menu, but that's kind of a pain.

If CHS had the ability to detect the clip is coming from notes2.exe and automatically apply the preset to it, then all I'd have to do is hit CTRL-V to paste a usable link into another application.

Alternatively, how about assigning a hot key to apply a preset and paste?

Thanks...
