Ignore copy feature #634

Hi. Sometimes I have to copy passwords from Chrome's password manager manually--i.e, autofill doesn't work. Only problem is that they end up in Ditto.

I know that excluding Chrome entirely wouldn't work, so would it be possible to create a hotkey that allows Windows to copy text as it normally does but have Ditto ignore it?

I'm not much of a programmer aside from R, but I imagine that this would require Ditto to initiate the copy command to the Windows API while having Ditto temporarily ignore the clipboard or something like that. This could be assigned to Ctrl+Alt+C or something like that (probably best to leave that up to the end user, though).
