PlaintextCopy
This one is an interesting variation on PlaintextPaste that instead adds a "Copy Plain Text" item (with the shortcut cmd-shift-v). I have actually had this one for a while now but decided someone else may have a use for it, so it's up. Let me know if you find a use for this (or, conversely, if you find a bug). I love getting feedback, and I try to respond to it within a day or two—please keep that in mind if you are too scared (or something)!

Well, BBEdit can do this with its "Zap Gremlins" command. I know that's not exactly the solution you were looking for, but I don't have any better solution at this point in time. I'll consider making a plugin that does what you want though. I don't want to promise anything though. :-)

So, I realized that plaintextpaste/plaintextcopy in their current form do me no good for my purposes, since what I really need is the ability to have unicode or and high-ascii characters converted into 7-bit ascii.
E.g. turn "smartquotes" into normal double quotes.
Any suggestions?
