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.
