It's not obvious, but you you can select multiple clips and then hit paste and it pastes them all at one.
(You can multiple select by holding shift and up/down arrow OR holding control and mouse clicking)
It's not a merge, but maybe is close enough for what you want.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
you can select multiple clips on the ditto clipboard and then "hit paste" and....what?
no way.
if that is true, my horrific existence in this world would have a chance - small as it be - to persist in a terrible, but more bearable state.
BUT IT'S NOT TRUE IS IT?!!!!
or rather, tell me it is - if you're operating an apple.

This is a feature I needed and am glad to see the ability to multi-paste. The only additional multi-paste option I need is to also have the ability to be able to multi-paste in reverse order:
copy3
copy2
copy1
This program can only be described as magnificent!

Is there any improvement in the lasted beta versions to true merge clipings, in the sense of the question asked in this thread? If not yet, is it on the short-term roadmap?
Ditto is so handy and well designed. This is the only missing feature I have in mind.
Many thanks for info,

I agree this would be very useful for text clips. I refer to program ClipTrap for ideas.
Clips are merged on the go and copy can be done again. I use both together for this kind of job. But using 2 programs is not that efficient, therefore would like to see something like this in Ditto too in a smart and easy way. To me a must have which would bring Ditto to a next level.

So if you have multiple clips to combine just select them in the Ditto window and hit CTRL+C again. Now you have a new clip with the selected ones combined that you can past afterwards wherever you want.

Hey, I tested the following in Beta 3.21.245 64b portable.
TEST1 I copied
TEST2 I copied
TEST3 I copied
Then in Ditto I seleced all 3 clips and then Ctrl + C (copy) after which I got a new clip with name TEST1. Showing F3 description does not show something.
I got 2 error messages:
1) RTF input ended prematrurely
2) Invalid RTF data on the clipboard
Any help ? I still believe this feature of merging would be great for text clips....

now the order from the list is followed, even if you use ctrl and select clips not in order.
would be better to built up the new clip in sequence of the selection done by using ctrl key.

It creates combined entry, but only in clipboard, not in Ditto (it seems), so then one can paste it somewhere, copy it and then it will appear in Ditto's list of cliboard entries. :)

Hi, I don't know if the feature is there and i just can't find it, of if it's not
i'm looking to merge multiple clips
as in:
copy1
copy2
copy3
merge 1-3 into copy4
so this is a 'if it exists, how do i do it?' if it doesn't 'feature request'
thanks

I'll consider this for a future version.

I absolutely agree!
I came here to search for this feature and found in another thread that it already exists: https://sourceforge.net/p/ditto-cp/discussion/287511/thread/3e12d75c/
So if you have multiple clips to combine just select them in the Ditto window and hit CTRL+C again. Now you have a new clip with the selected ones combined that you can past afterwards wherever you want.

Any help ? I still believe this feature of merging would be great for text clips....
I copied multiple inputs, then I opened the panel, selected them all and hit ctrl c. it worked and now I have everything I selected on my clipboard
now the order from the list is followed, even if you use ctrl and select clips not in order.
would be better to built up the new clip in sequence of the selection done by using ctrl key.
Sorry, but selecting 2 or more lines and hitting ctrl+c doesn't seem to create a combined entry.
Was this feature removed or broken?
Thanks
It creates combined entry, but only in clipboard, not in Ditto (it seems), so then one can paste it somewhere, copy it and then it will appear in Ditto's list of cliboard entries. :)

If you want to have Ditto save the combined clip when pasting multiple clips - options - general - advanced - save multi-pastes = true
Now Ditto will create a clip in it's list with the combined data.

tyvm ! 👍 👍 :)
