RRW, just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly, is your shortcut command-shift-period, or is it it command-right angle bracket (>)?

Since period and > both live on the same key, the only way to hit that keyboard combo is to hold down shift and hit the decimal key on the 10-key pad. (Since shift+. gets you the ">" character.)

Gah... I just checked in the latest OmniFocus 1.6.1 sneakypeek; the clippings shortcut field does read command-shift-period if you hit those keys on the main keyboard, not command-angle bracket.

Yep... and if you do hit command-shift-ten key period, the shortcut fires off.

I'm writing that up as a bug. Apologies!
