Great plugin with just two minor issues

Thank you so much for making a great plugin!!

I found that I have two minor issues in version 7.1:

1. Alt+v does not bring up the window. Instead, it puts a little check mark at the cursor.
2. you have to push the escape key to make the window go away (one would think it should also go away if you mouse click somewhere in the editor)

Thanks again for the great work!!!

Awesome

Works as expected. It would be nice if pasting into dialog text fields would be supported. I would need this for I18N/L10N in JSPs.

Awesome plugin.

Thanks for providing so simple and useful tool. Nearly perfect.
I would suggest that last chosen item from the list is copied back to clipboard. It is more likely that programmer will want to paste something few times. For now you need either keep selecting copied code from plugin’s context popup or select it in editor and copy again.
Also possibility to delete cluttering elements from the list will make life much easier.
