Add a way to reduce the pasteboard to just the selected type #19

Sometimes I want to strip out e.g. the styling information from some text I’ve copied in Safari. It would be nice if I could hit ⌘C to delete everything from the pasteboard except the currently selected thing in the sidebar (assuming, of course, that there’s nothing selected in the detail view)

Sounds like you want Pure Paste, not this app.

Not necessarily! I think some of the cases I remember were along the lines of copying a link containing an image and wanting to either paste just the image or just the URL, or wanting to just copy the file URL of an item in Finder.

That is outside the scope of this app. This app is a tool to aid making Mac apps, not a general clipboard utility app. I'll keep this in mind when I eventually make a clipboard manager/utility app.
