Cut and Paste with Vigor - Ditto


As a developer, cut and paste is my friend. I would say I probably do the old Ctrl+C/Ctrl+X -> Ctrl+V combination at least two hundred times a day. Well, I recently added Ctrl+~ to my arsenal.

With Ditto, you never have to worry about what's in your clipboard again. Copy 10 things first and then paste them in any order you choose. The Ctrl+~ shortcut brings up a small window with your clipboard history. This includes text, tables, and even thumbnails of the images you copy. You can search for something that you copied yesterday. Ditto remembers it. You can even export your clips to a .dto file and import them on another PC.

Now, for those of you who say, "I hardly ever copy and paste," I bet you never realized how much you did until you tried this tool. And if by chance you are telling the truth this is the perfect tool to get you started. Cut/copy, paste is one of the most useful tools at a computer user's disposal and, thanks to Ditto you have even more reason to. Ditto takes the mystery out of the illusive Clipboard. Forget what's in there? Take a peek.

Ditto what a time saver.
