The most famous is the clipboard one (https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/ https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/). I'd be surprised if they were referring to another "Ditto" software.

  You are correct, this is the one I meant. It claims to handle windows clipboard "shortcomings" by remember previous entries and allowing you to access it easily (allowing for multi copy paste situation), and it does just that and do it well.

    BTW windows now ship with a clipboard tool like this using Windows + V shortcut. I use other tools you mentioned already though. Need to try ditto. Is there a list of similarly *fast* alternatives like this for windows (+other OSes)?

      Idk if this is still the case but back when I tried the built in clipboard history when it was first released, it didn’t handle formatted text well, nor did it handle multi-media particularly well, if at all. One of the best parts about ditto is that you can choose to paste with or without formatting

        The Windows clipboard history tool works with images. Screenshots, at least, but I think others as well.

        The are indeed many clipboard managers across all platforms, but none have the perfect UI of ditto. Its ditto's UI that needs to be copied everywhere else.

        Haven't used Ditto before but I use CopyQ on Linux, at least according to the screenshots of Ditto it appears that CopyQ has been influenced by it

        Maccy on MacOS is perfect: https://maccy.app/ https://maccy.app/

        I use maccy on my wife’s Mac and don’t love it, maybe it’s bec I’m still not comfortable with Mac keyboard shortcuts or maybe it’s just the UI, but there’s something about it that feels less baked than ditto.

        I don’t know ditto but on maccy it’s just the paste shortcut (for the last copy) plus a number (if you need an older copy). Could it be easier?

        A way to sort of "alt-tab" between copy versions instead of separate keypresses for each?
        Ringz 2y ago
        I don't understand what you mean. Sorting: There is no shortcut for sorting. However, I have never needed this either, because the search via regular expressions Fuzzy or a mixture of both works very well.

        Doesn't Ctrl+Shift+v already paste without formatting?

        That's what it claims to do in many apps, yes. I still end up pasting into notepad and copying from there to get real paste-without-formatting.

Raycast packages a few of these into a modern app as well. Clipboard, Searching files, Window management. Very lightweight though part of a different generation so more "bloated" in some people's eyes. Low resources used though.
