I just installed Ditto, a clipboard manager for Windows, and I've barely begun exploring the settings. I'll admit I'm a bit overwhelmed by it and I think I'm going to have to read at least some basic help files as I make my way through it but this will likely be a useful tool in the tool box. Any quick starter tips from Ditto veterans would be appreciated. Bear in mind I'm a keyboard-only user.
@DavidGoldfield run and forget, for the most part. copy and paste as you ordinarily would but, if you want something you've already copied, control plus apostrophe puts you in the clip list. you can type to filter or scroll through, press enter to paste it where you were, or control plus C to re-clipboard it.
@cachondo You're a gentleman and a scholar.. Many, many thanks.
@DavidGoldfield :) I love tools that do their jobs well. Ditto is one of those. You'd not believe the internal fury I feel when I realise I'm on someone's computer and it's not running. You get so used to it after a while.
Enjoy! There's a lot in the documentation and the settings are comprehensive.
I've recently had my 53400th copy on this machine which I started using in the summer of 2023.
@cachondo @DavidGoldfield Yeah, especially if you're copying various things to the clipboard then realize that you only have the last snippit, because Ditto isn't installed. Grr!
@mcourcel @DavidGoldfield luckily in modern windows you can press win+v for Microsoft's version of clipboard history, but it's nowhere near as comprehensive as ditto's.
Ditto also does the whole clipboard sharing across a network thing if you have more than one machine of course, but that's something I have only used very rarely.
@DavidGoldfield @cachondo Yeah, this one defaults to 500? Bananas! Oooo... and you can creat a hotkey for a clip? Neat! I've got ideas.
