#DITTO CLIPBOARD MANAGER OPEN SOURCE WINDOWS#
If what you’ve been using is the Windows clipboard where you get to copy and paste one item, then Ditto, out of the box, will give you exponentially more power.There are many tools out there that can help you manage your Linux clipboard and these include: 1. Once you get the hang of it, dive deeper into the settings. And now I can select or search just within that group.ĭitto is packed with a lot of tweak-able features. Notice at the top that Ditto tells me I’m in the Blog group. When I select that group, Ditto shows me the items in that group. And now I can select or search just within that group. When I type blog into Ditto’s search, I see that item 7 is a group called blog. You can right-click on each item, select groups, and move the clips into a group named for that assignment. Let’s say that you copied comments you wrote on a particular assignment. Right-click on any copied item in the menu to bring up the options for that individual item. (Know what would be awesome? On copy, Ditto would release a puff of smell that matched that of the fluid from a ditto machine.) Personally, I’d find this annoying, but if it’s your thing. Also on this page, you can choose to play a sound when you copy something. And, no, I don’t have any particular rationale for choosing that number. When I hold down the Windows key and press the apostrophe, the Ditto pop up appears.įrom the “General” tab, you can decide how many copies you want Ditto to keep. I chose the Windows key (checkmarked the Win box) and apostrophe. Click on that to pull up your settings options.Ĭlick “Options…” to open a 9-tab settings window.įrom the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab, choose your keyboard shortcut that will launch Ditto.
To the right of the Ditto search box is the three-dot menu. Again, select the item to you want, and it will be pasted.īecause Ditto works at the level of the operating system, if you can type in the program, Ditto will paste in the program. Here I typed “cop” and Ditto immediately gave me the 8 items out of the last 500 items I copied that contained that string of letters. That means that as you type, Ditto starts returning items that match your search.
Ditto begins a dynamic search of your clipboard items. The search is very fast! When the Ditto pop up screen appears, just start typing. You probably don’t want to see 500 items in this screen. Want to see more on this screen? Mouse over the top of the pop up to get the double arrow, then click and drag. I can go into any folder and paste this file. The item at the top of the list is a file. Or if it is one of the first ten, I can press the CONTROL key and a number on my keyboard to paste it. Or I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to scroll to the one I want and press enter to paste it. I can click on the one I want to paste it. I use a keyboard shortcut (WIN + ‘) to get this pop up. But what if I told you that there is an easier (and free!) way?ĭitto saves the last 500 (or however many you want) instances of whatever you’ve copied, such as text, images, files.
I know that some of you handle this by having, say, a Word file that holds all of your common comments. When grading assignments, I find that what I write for one student often applies to other students. That means the next time you copy a chunk of text, the previous chunk of text that you had copied is erased. In Windows, the built-in clipboard can only hold one item.
