Now here is a widget that everyone can enjoy: more better keyboard shortcuts. xCuts is a reference widget for Mac OS X's keyboard shortcuts, organized by Category, Scope and Object, allowing you more control over which kinds of shortcuts to browse through. You can even live-search the database, and the widget allows you to copy and paste the shortcut text into documents. Nice.Reply in the Mail.app with a specific quote.

Seems that it is the thing that many MAC users were looking for. I was surprised to see that xCuts contained so many useful shortcuts. I wonder how many MAC users know all of these shortcuts.

Anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut that turns the text copied to a clipboard into plain text? I use an app right now that I have to click on and it turns text in the clipboard into plain text but I was hoping maybe there was a keyboard shortcut to do this.

"Now here is a widget that everyone can enjoy"
- Maybe not everyone. This widget does not seem to be universal. :(

Brent: you mean like opt-shift-cmd-V? See TextEdit and look for "paste and match style" in the Edit menu.
