#Pastebot mac code#
The code is pure spaghetti and filled with goto statements and global variables and trying to understand it is a lost cause, but despite that it's almost bug-free and covers all of the corner cases, including copying from zip files, Microsoft Office documents, images, files, etc. While it is written in AutoHotkey and hasn't seen any updates in 8 years, it still works perfectly under Windows 11. And tapping Z strips the text formatting. The UI was a little too bulky for me, I couldnt pin items, documentation lacked examples of using certain features like Shell Scripts so I couldnt get started with more advanced actions. It's so intuitive that it makes other clipboard managers feel clunky. Probably unpopular opinion, but Ive tried PasteBot and I found that it didnt fit my workflow. Tapping X switches actions (Paste, Cancel, Delete, Delete All), and releasing Ctrl commits the action. Pressing Ctrl+V while holding Ctrl down brings up a tooltip with the current item on the clipboard, and you can move backwards and forwards through the stack by tapping C and V (while still holding Ctrl).

The main functions are all accessible with the regular Ctrl and ZXC keys, in the normal flow. Ditto allows you to save any type of information that can be put on the clipboard, text, images, html, and custom formats. It saves each item placed on the clipboard allowing you access to any of those items at a later time. Ditto is good but I am partial to the user interface of an AutoHotkey program called ClipJump. Im looking for a clipboard manager like Ditto for Mac: Ditto is an extension to the standard windows clipboard.
