Rest of the Story:

Ditto is an extension to the standard windows clipboard. It saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time. Ditto allows you to save any type of information that can be put on the clipboard, text, images, html, custom formats, ..... The features below are simple and just worth repeating within this entry.

  • Easy to use interface
  • Search and paste previous copy entries
  • Keep multiple computer's clipboards in sync

I use this extension daily on all my workstations. I am able to Copy (Ctrl-C) anything and then use keyboard shortcut Alt-Z to show the last x number (confiburable) of copies display in a pop-up.

Anything in ditto can be found by searching in the open dialog box. This feature is invaluable when trying to find content from a couple of days ago. Ditto starts on system startup and is always just available.

I have tried other clipboard manager tools, but this one is just small, easy and allows me copy/paste text, code, images from days in the past.
