Supercharged Services Menu

WordService is a package that adds a gazillion new text manipulation options to the system-wide Services menu; it integrates so well and I've had it installed so long — I thought it was part of the system!

Here's a list of all the new things you'll be able to do with selected text:

  • Reformat
  • Remove line endings/multiple spaces/multiple feeds/quotes
  • Trim line beginnings/line endings/lines
  • Sort lines ascending/descending
  • Shift left/right
  • Initial Caps Of Words/Sentences
  • All Caps/Lowercase
  • Macintosh/Windows/Unix line endings
  • Mac- to Windows-Encoding/Windows- to Mac-Encoding
  • Encode/Decode tabs
  • Straight/Smart quotes
  • Rotate13
  • Insert short/long date or date & time
  • Insert time
  • Insert contents of path
  • Speak native/german text
  • Stop speaking
  • Statistics

There are several keyboard shortcuts built in. You could easily add more, using an application like Menu Master.

The reformat option is great for when you receive, say, an email message where there are forced line breaks within the body of a paragraph. Reformat will remove the line breaks while retaining the paragraph breaks.
