The OS X services menu can quickly become unwieldy as every application on your computer adds menu items and shortcuts to it. If you decide to make use of the services menu we highly recommend the donation-ware application Service Scrubber. That will let you take out services that you don’t use, and assign your own keyboard shortcuts to the items that you do use.
