Right clicking on each clip presents copy, pasting and editing options as well.Īn item can be made sticky to remain in the database forever, this can done via the right click menu, Ctrl+S or the Edit menu. The basic usage uses the usual Ctrl+C keys for copying and then maximizing the program, choosing a clip using the arrow keys and then pressing Enter to paste the chosen – or even multiple clips – into the active window. Ethervane Echo has a status indicator – the little green check mark on the bottom of the interface – and it can be paused to not capture clipboard items by double clicking on that same icon. The interface tries to give as much information as it can by showing the source, time of capture, size and type of a highlighted item and information on the total number of items in its database.
The search box has basic and advanced modes, the former is search as you type and the latter requires pressing enter to start the search. A good example of Ethervane Echo’s ease of use is that when the program is brought up just typing starts a search, there is no need to click in the search box, and if required pressing Esc clears the search box. The intended features and strengths are to find the items after they have been captured using the keyboard and search (with wild card support). The Win+Insert (can be changed in the Preferences (Tool->Preferences->Keyboard)) keys are the default way of bringing up the program and Esc the default way to minimize it back to the tray.Įthervane Echo’s interface is divided into views, these views can be hidden or others added (View -> Manage Quick Views).
It does and should work when copying from most any source but it does not support images. It divides captured clipboard items into different categories based primarily on time captured and type, for example last hour and URLs and it can be tweaked for more advanced use.

It has also saved my bacon on a few occasions because it keeps a history for a period of time, I was able to find and retrieve information that I thought I saved else where but only to be found in my Ditto clipboard manager.Ethervane Echo is a full featured ‘keyboard centric’ clipboard extender or manager for Windows. Its small memory foot print, portability, quick display response time, and elegant design "will save you time".
#Ditto clipboard manager review update#
It has tons of configuration features from hotkeys for clip access and pasting, sharing clips, auto database clean up management, program update checker, playing a sound on clip, skin colors, search as you type and a bunch more to numerous to mention here. It is visually efficient, meaning when looking for a clip you just made a minute ago to a week ago is easy to retrieve and paste. I have to say, I HAVE tried them all and found that Ditto to be the BEST clipboard manager out there!! If you cut & paste text as part of your job then Ditto will make your work a whole lot easier.
