Paste without copy to clipboard #670

Open wisemike2 opened 2 months ago

wisemike2 commented 2 months ago

When click on an entry from the list, it pastes it, but at the same time it loads it to the clipboard. Is there an option to paste it without copying it to the clipboard? (So whatever is currently in the clipboard doesn't get replaced by whatever was pasted using Ditto). Or if it could be added as a an option (feature request). Thanks.

That's how the normal pasting works from Ditto.

You can look into Copy Buffers, options - copy buffers. You can define a copy and paste key. With those keys you can copy and paste outside of the current clipboard contents (behind the scenes the contents of the clipboard is saved and restored).

So you can open Ditto select a clip and press Ctrl - num -, this will place that clip on copy buffer 1. Ctrl - V will paste what is on the clipboard. Press Ctrl - Num + will paste what is on copy buffer 1. Ctrl - V will still paste the original contents of your clipboard.
