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 Well, Sean, if you ever need to do work on my computer, you'll be able to use Ditto. No fury required. 😊
I often wish that Vispero would just buy a bulk Leasey license and include it with every JAWS install. There are just some features in that program that I really wish would be integrated into JAWS, particularly the ease of use of copying a marked block of text. JAWS can do this but it's so much easier with Leasey.

@DavidGoldfield NVDA at least is good about pulling in ideas from the community. Screen curtain was an addon long before it was built-in, as was the idea of an addon updater of course. and, if their roadmap is any indication, NVDA Remote will be built-in soon too.

@cachondo Again, many thanks. Light bulb finally switched on, so to speak, and it makes sense to me now. So, the hotkey to load Ditto, defined in the hotkey settings, actually loads the clip list. Brilliant. I added the Windows key to avoid a Leasey keyboard conflict but I'm now starting to see the power of this program. Thanks for the nudge and to @hallen for beating the drum about Ditto.

@DavidGoldfield @hallen happy to help. :) It's always easy when you know how, after all.
