PopClip: work with the selected text in the style of iOS

The fact that OS X is more borrowed from iOS, visible to the naked eye. It started even with Mac OS X Lion, where there were elements of the mobile operating system interface, as well as some of its "chips" - for example, text auto-correction and quick access to accents.
In Mountain Lion trend continue: At our disposal will be the desktop version of iOS-applications (Reminders, Messages) And center tray. And how strange that Apple in the pursuit of the unification of the two operating systems did not offer anything new to work with the text.
This "gap" drew the attention of Nick Moore (Nick Moore). His PopClip program reinterprets such thing as usual copy-paste.
PopClip allows you to forget about the keyboard shortcuts and context menu. When you select text, a menu appears where the fragment can be copied or cut. It sold very close to what we see in iOS.
The program is smart and takes into account also the context. If the text can not be edited, and such opportunities as the "cut" will not. Instead PopClip offer to get the dictionary definition, find the selected phrase on Google. If you select the text (inactive) link, you will be able to go to her.
Among other things, PopClip able to correct typos. If you make a mistake in the spelling of a word, highlight it, and the program will offer options for the correct spelling. But, alas, the Russian language is not supported - bug PopClip only English-language text.
Pay attention to PopClip costs to those users who are not a fan of keyboard shortcuts, someone easier to work with a mouse and touchpad.
The program costs $ 5, available at Mac App Store. Developer posted on official website trial version. You can appreciate the job application before purchasing.
