I'm trying to use Ditto on the Ditto documentation. If I were to copy the table of contents, then paste it (without Ditto) to the word processor, I get http://i.imgur.com/V1GU3.png, and the formatting is maintained.
As as a result of the copy operation, the table of contents also goes into the Saved Items List (= History List = Lists the Clips saved from the Clipboard) in Ditto’s Main Window:
I open a blank document to paste from Ditto instead of the default clipboard, and press either Ctrl-`, the default Ditto window activation Global Hot Key, or click the tray icon.
From this point, I can do 3 things to close the Ditto window, and place the item on the clipboard (the default clipboard?).
- Select the item, and press Enter
- Put the cursor on the item, and double-click
- Select the item, and press Ctrl-c
1) and 2) send a right-click where the cursor is, after the Ditto window closes (presumably to have the paste option ready to access?): Ctrl-c just closes the Ditto window.
Whichever method is used, the contents are pasted in what I believe is plain text: http://i.imgur.com/mQAZH.png
How do I keep the formatting that the default clipboard keeps? Thanks.
