Hi,
As for script categories, I'm of the opinion that app modules should be
given their own categories with global plugins using existing categories
unless there is a reason not to. In this case, I agree with Noelia that
current script category is fine.
Cheers,
Joseph

and reviews

Hi.
About categories, I'd like to get more opinions. Sometimes, if each add-on
has its own, the dialog for input gestures could be too long. 
Another solution could be mention the add-on category in the readme file.
About copying and cutting, really the add-on follows this steps, in short:
1. Gets the clipboard text.
2. Joins the text to append.
3. Copy the whole text to the clipboard.
We could add a function to delete different segments from the clipboard,
regardless on if you have pasted them or not.
I would like to know use cases, and I think that, for this first version
(uploaded to the website and perhaps unloaded for people who is not
following this thread), we can change the keystrokes and fix the bug
reported by Alberto.
For the next major release (2.0), if you want can add a combo box to decide
what strings should be copied (or removed), and the possibility of saving
different separators.
Thanks.
