I really like Ditto when I'm stuck working on a Windows machine. It is a snappy little clipboard manager. It has some cool features like custom global shortcuts, groups, editing, plain text pasting. But it's a Windows application.
I recently was having troubles with Klipper - actually it was Plasma's 'integrated' clipboard manager - so I decided to look around and see what was out there for Nix.

I found CopyQ. It's cross platform which is very cool. So I gave it a try...
Goodbye Ditto.
I feel bad. We've had good times together. I would like to comfort you by saying it's me, not you. But it's you. You have been outshined.
CooyQ is not quite as fast as Ditto, but it UI is very powerful. It has global hotkeys, tabs, so clips can be organized etc. Tabs are like Dittos groups, but it's far easier to work with these in CopyQ. Navigating tabs is easy, editing clips is easy, it has plain text pasting like Ditto. And the UI can be customized so it can be as minimal as you want. All this in a little clipboard manager. - A cross platform clipboard manager at that.
I'm sorry Ditto, but I think we need to break up.
