That's a lot of finger gymnastics, but it's probably better than `pbpaste|pbcopy`, which is how I've been doing it all these years.

Not if you assign it a hotkey in Keyboard Maestro :)

On my MacBook Pro, Command + Option + V universally executes the following AppleScript:

  use scripting additions
  do shell script "pbpaste | pbcopy"
  return

Thank you! I will now use pbpaste|pbcopy
