1) Custom key strokes

Some applications to not accept the default key stroke to paste a clip, ctrl-v. Starting in 3.15.1 custom key strokes can be set per application can be set to send the appropriate key stroke to paste the clip.

2) How to set a custom key stroke

Custom Paste Strings
1. Start - Run, enter regedit.
2. Browse to "HKCU\programs\Ditto\PasteStrings"
3. Add a string value of your application name, must be the full name, ex: notepad.exe
4. Enter the key stroke to send
Custom Copy Strings
1. Start - Run, enter regedit.
2. Browse to "HKCU\programs\Ditto\CopyStrings"
3. Add a string value of your application name, must be the full name, ex: notepad.exe
4. Enter the key stroke to send
Custom Cut Strings
1. Start - Run, enter regedit.
2. Browse to "HKCU\programs\Ditto\CutStrings"
3. Add a string value of your application name, must be the full name, ex: notepad.exe
4. Enter the key stroke to send

3) Custom key stroke format

Ex: ^p (sends ctrl-p)

Ex: %e{DELAY 50}p (sends Alt-e, delays 50 ms then sends p)

Ex: ^c (Sends ctrl-c)

Ex: ^x (Sends ctrl-x)

Command Syntax Action

{VKEY X} Sends the VKEY of value X.
Very useful if you don't want to recompile CSendKeys and add new Vkey to the hardcoded special keys table.

For example, {VKEY 13} is equivalent to VK_RETURN.

{BEEP X Y}} Beeps with a frequency of X and a duration of Y milliseconds.

{DELAY X} Delays sending the next key of X milliseconds. After the delaying the following key, the subsequent keys will not be further delayed unless there is a default delay value (see DELAY=X).
Example: {DELAY 1000} <-- delays subsequent key stroke for 1 second.

{DELAY=X} Sets the default delay value to X milliseconds. This will cause every key to be delayed X ms.
If a value is already set and you specify {DELAY Y} you will have your following key delay Y ms but the subsequent keys will be delayed X ms.

Example: {DELAY=1000} <-- all subsequent keys will be delayed for 1 second.

{APPACTIVATE WindowTitle} Activates an application using is WindowTitle.
Very useful if you want to send different keys to different applications.
