I'm using Ditto to copy+paste a huge form into another software and it comes handy to paste the last 10 data entries. However, I would like to know if it is possible to paste all the entries in the clipboard history one by one, moving to next record automatically, using a hotkey combination for example? I have tried so far to paste the 10th record in the list and moving it to the top using CRTL+Num 0 and it works for the first 10 but then it repeats itself.
I am using Ditto for quite a while now and it is a great little clipboard manager. A while ago, I have managed to set one of the clips (a copy item in Ditto) as a "permanent" one. Meaning, when I open up the main console of Ditto in order to access all the copied items, this one will always appear first.I don't remember how I did that back then and now I want to do it for other items. Does anyone know how to do this? I haven't been able to find any documentation or help about this specific issue.
Good question! The Ditto help and FAQ do not reflect the awesome things the developer and the community have done to improve the software. I hope this helps you. I love sticky clips. I use it as a poor woman's text expander, because the sticky clips correspond to the quick paste hot keys.
I think these are the supported types for pasting(?) because after copying, Ditto detects the types that are in the clipboard, and you can add them to your supported types: Supported types -> Add supported type -> Currently on the clipboard

Ditto is a free extension to your default Windows clipboard that saves the things you copy for later use. This wikiHow will show you how to install and use Ditto on your Windows computer, as well as how to use it to extend your clipboard.
We would like to know if you plan to add a copy/paste feature on the Desktop Client so that an IT support person doing a remote control session on a screen sharing of a User needing help can copy commands from his/her local machine and paste them on the remote.
@dave3 also having the same issue here where I used to be able to copy/paste local to remote but no longer am able to. Please let me know if you figure out how to do it again, because it really messes up my workflow.
Ditto. I chose Zoom over many other solutions, pre-pandemic, specifically because of its flawless copy/paste both from local to remote, and from remote to local. Most other solutions either blocked copy/paste or only worked one direction, local to remote or vice versa.
I am familiar with this option, it appears to be defaulted to enabled for me and all my coworkers. Regardless of the default value coworkers and myself tested this option and it has made zero difference in any copy/paste tests from the desktop client (enabled on one side, enabled on both, etc.). We have tried desktop clients for Linux to Linux, Linux to Mac, Linux to Windows, Mac to Windows, etc., and in all cases the copy/paste fails.
My coworker has resorted to opening up a second zoom instance via web browser so he can use it strictly as a clipboard buffer. So it seems the web/chrome client can copy/paste but the desktop clients appear to not work as expected. Obviously the remote controlled session has this enabled and is allowing clipboard sharing, because it works from a web client at the same time it does not work from the desktop client.
Once enabled, just start copying things.If you want to paste the last thing you copied, use Ctrl + V as usual.If you want to paste something you copied earlier though, use Windows Key + V and the Clipboard History window will appear and show you the last clips you copied.From there, choose the clip that you want and it will be pasted into your application.If you click away from the Clipboard History window, it will close without pasting anything.
You can view all the captures (text, links, HTML, images etc.) by using the CTRL+ key (Control + tilde). You can move through the items and double click or press enter on the item to paste it to the previous window. You can also drag and drop the item to be pasted.
In this tutorial you will discover Ditto, which is a free program that allows an unlimited amount of copy/paste. It will save you hours of productive work by allowing you to copy multiple elements into a virtual clipboard to paste later.
Ditto is a feature-rich, customizable extension to the standard copy-paste mechanism. The program saves each copied item to a dynamic list, allowing access to anything copied or cut. You can save any type of information that can be put on the standard Windows clipboard and preview in before pasting.
Additionally, the program can communicate with other computers over a network to keep clipboards in sync.
Alternatively, Ditto Portable is also available in the PortableApps format.
under Option - Quick paste. There you can change to another theme which comes with the program.
However to create your own looks/theme, you can go to the folder Ditto\Themes\ You'll find some xml files. Each of them is 1 theme. In there you can change the value and select which colars. You'll need to play a bit around till it looks they way you want it to be. Give it a new xml name and then in the Ditto program select this one as Theme as described above.
Remember the app itself was last updated in 2006. Windows Vista and 7 did not exist then, nor did IE8 or 9.
The portable installer is the only reason it can even exist on the newer OS. (And I had to mess with some security settings to do that.)
There seems to be a glitch when ditto interacts with the new Google, or with IE8 (I'm not sure which) as well. Copying from a Google page and then pasting into a Google toolbar or IE search bar (only in a newer IE than this was written for, problem does not occur in FireFox) creates a duplicate entry in ditto.
However, as this software is no longer being updated, it's unlikely a fix will be issued. If anyone has any ideas on why this is occurring and any possible fix, please reply here.
Thank you, Portable apps, for making it possible to use one of my FAVORITE programs on the newer OS, where this would not have been possible otherwise.
Excellent application. The only thing that annoys me is when I click on the button on the left-top to roll-up ditto, it rolls down if I left the mouse on it.
I found also an empty dir in appdata but nothing in the registry (except some MRU entries and MUIcache)
So I meant to talk about new features in Visual Studio 2019, however, I am seeing really useful features that have apparently been around for years. There is really neat trick with copy paste that I had no idea about.
So normally you would hit a combination of CTRL-C and CTRL-V essentially pushing and popping the copied text into the clipboard, but did you know the history of your copy actions are being stored on your behalf?
After copying several items hit CTRL-SHIFT-V and you will see a popup with list of all the copied text! This makes editing or moving large data sets in Visual Studio really attractive. Now that I think about it I would love to see this in Excel.
Share on Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Comment Section Marc (May 16, 2019 1:37) I'm using a tool called Ditto for this. It saves the all clipboard history and lets you paste older entries by using another "paste" shortcut. Since it's hooked directly to the clipboard, it works to copy & paste between different programs.
Check out: -cp.sourceforge.io Bradley (May 20, 2019 8:52) This isn't new for VS 2019, it's existed since *at least* VS 2017. rosdi (May 20, 2019 21:40) Or just use Win+V ? This is windows shortcut key... should work on virtually any apps in windows. Comments are closed.
Typing Ctrl+V in a terminal doesn't paste as you might expect. By default, programs which use the Readline library, such as bash, will treat the next character literally when they receive this, and not as a control code.
If a program has told the terminal they understand them, as Readline has started doing by default since Ubuntu 20.04, this text will be wrapped by the terminal with paste brackets, control codes ^[[200 and ^[[201.
I'm currently trying to copy around 5TB of various files in many folders and subfolders. There seem to be some bad files amoungst them that are causing issues - as when Finder finds them it completely stops and shows an error message (compared to say Windows which would provide the option to skip the bad file and continue copying the rest). The problem with this is that if I start again Finder is very limited in it's options, it provides the option to Replace, Replace All or Don't Replace, if I hit Replace All, it starts from the begining again, if I click Don't Replace, it then does nothing, as the first level folders are all there, it doesn't seem to check that sub content within the folders are there...
Is there a method that I can set the Mac to transfer the data and skip over the files that it is unable to copy? I have little experience using Terminal (have only used it in the past following guides by copying and pasting the script into it), happy to give Terminal a go, but would require assistance with the correct script to use.
Once you've opened the Terminal, enter 'ditto' without the quote marks, drag the source folder or drive into the Terminal window, and then drag the destination folder into the Terminal window. Press Enter.
