Ditto is great. I tried several clipboard managers and I found Ditto the best.
A great feature which is not enabled by default is serching for substrings in any order, so if you want to search for an item which contains somewhere the strings 'dog' and 'cat' for example, then you just type 'dog cat' and it finds all entries which contain both of these substrings in any order anywhere.
- criddell 8y agoMy only complaint with Ditto (and they may have fixed it by now) is the clip database grows unbounded. I ran out of space on my drive and I found the Ditto database was taking up several gigabytes. There is an option to delete and it took a long time to finish (overnight).
- pasbesoin 8y agoI haven't used it in a while, but I recall a count limit that would trigger trimming when exceeded. In fact, as I recall, I had to manually increase or remove the default of... was it 500?, in order to get clips to stick around for the period of time I required. Clips could also be flagged (I forget the terminology used) so that they would not be automatically deleted. For stuff you used chronically or really needed to keep around (in which case, you shouldn't be solely trusting it to the utility's database -- even though, backed by SQLite, that was pretty darned stable; not entirely, though, back then, as I had it bork on me once or twice).
- BrandoElFollito 8y agoThis was with the limitations in place (how much entries to keep, for how long)? I never actually checked how big the db was, I assumed that it is pruned with the limit in place
- sdegutis 8y agoI noticed VS Code has this same feature when doing auto-completion and it made me realize how useful it is and that all auto-completion and fuzzy-matchers should have it.
