Ditto - Clipboard Extension

This program is great. I can copy 4 or 5 things and then access them for whatever reason; to compose a blog entry, to transfer information from one screen of data to another, to pull that URI that I copied earlier and now need to go back to, etc.

Ditto is an extension to the standard windows clipboard. It saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time. Ditto allows you to save any type of information that can be put on the clipboard, text, images, html, custom formats, …..

    I’m telling you, one of these days you’re just going to have to take the plunge and dive into Linux with KDE on top of it. :)
