Rebinding RCTRL on Keyboard Manager in Windows Powertoys breaks pasting from GUI #674

I have Windows Powertoys installed and am using the Keyboard Manager to rebind my RCTRL key. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager

When I open the Ditto popup menu and double-click an entry to paste it, it runs \<Rebound key>+V instead of Ctrl+V.

Is there a way to force Ditto to use LCTRL+V instead of RCTRL+V for all applications?

Oh nice, you had this in the documentation already. I should have checked first!

For anyone else who's reading: https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/wiki/Custom-Key-Strokes

Default key strokes for paste, copy and cut, these can be customized in Options - General - Advanced, "Default paste/copy/cut string: {VKEY162}v (sends left control - v)
