Ditto eases the pain of cutting AND pasting

Posted by eriksr on May 8, 2007

If you’ve ever found yourself in cut’n'paste land, know that you are not alone. Every day trillions of people toil away at the CRTL+X, CRTL+V keys (or the event less fortunate, who click “EDIT” and “CUT” then “PASTE) in an effort to get information from one place to another.

Thankfully, for some of you, Ditto has come to your rescue. Click the screenshot to see what it looks like, by the way!

So, how is this going to change my life?
Let’s say you’re constantly cutting/copying and pasting the same group of things. You have to go to your source, copy/cut, go to your destination, select your point, and paste. Ditto actually stores everything you’ve copied and kept on your clipboard so you don’t have to keep going back to your source — you just open Ditto and paste what you want from there.

Ditto can be launched quickly by hitting CRTL+` (it’s the rarely used button to the left of the number 1 on most keyboards).

Even better, Ditto hangs onto data for a long time, even after you turn your computer off, so you can access things you worked with days ago. Heck, you can keep whole tables in there!
