SUMMARY
The text explaining what arguments may be used in the clipboard actions command
line is somewhat misleading to the user. A user may think they're supposed to
use <%s> with the angled brackets included while only %s is needed and the
command will fail otherwise. 

I've seen this confuse at least one person. Is there a reason angled brackets
are used here and not simply the string that needs to be inserted? As far as i
can tell, similar windows in other environments just simply use the argument
directly. example: http://i.imgur.com/qliSSE1.png
