Pasting directly from a Group folder item

[Scott-in-AZ]

Using CTRL-v at the place I want to paste to, when my cursor first selects an item in a Group folder, does not seem to work.

Instead, CTRL-v pastes the top item from the main folder.

Is this a settings/preferences issue? I can't figure out how to do this smoothly.

Also, why do captures always seem to pad the clip with a trailing space? This is problematic for passwords.

I assume by cursor first selects you mean e.g. single-clicking the entry. That does not tell Ditto that you want to paste this, so you’re experiencing the intended behavior.

To paste a selected clip, double-click it or press Enter. (Or CTRL-c CTRL-v if you don’t want to move the clip to the top of the list.)

This is unrelated, so you should create a separate issue for it.

Does this problem reproduce when pressing these exact keys?

1. WIN-r
2. a
3. CTRL-a
4. CTRL-c
5. CTRL-v

Otherwise possibly you are double clicking a word and the space after it is included in the selection. To unselect that space, move the mouse cursor slightly.
Or the behavior is specific to the application you’re copying from. For example, when I type CTRL-a CTRL-c in a text file only containing a single character in text editor vim, vim adds a trailing line break character, which some apps convert to a space when pasting to single line input fields.
