[@Mr.Dave] There a 70ms delay inbuilt, plus, as I noted, who knows if and when delays also occur writing to drive cache or other, the the effect is to have unpredictable response to keystrokes where standard Windows [ Ctrl ][ v ] in a text field at a blinking cursor produces no result … so … I try [ Ctrl ][ v] again … and sometimes nothing, and sometimes raw text appears as if I had hit the keystrokes [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ v ] … and sometimes it just pastes no problem. Variable.
Caution, folks [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ x ] closed my browser in mid read of Mr. Dave’s explanation of [ Ctrl ][ Shift ][ x ]!
That’s why I prefer to open the ClipDiary window, scroll to the contents I want, then [ Right-click ] it and select [ Copy to clipboard ], then return to my blinking cursor in a form field and type [ Ctrl ][ v ] – KISS – I’m keeping it as simple and standard as possible.
I have no idea nor tolerance for instruction in ClipDiary that show things like Ctrl+C \ Arrow Right … does it mean
— to hit all three Ctrl+C \ Arrow Right together, Ctrl+C AND Arrow Right
— to hit Ctrl+C \ Arrow Right in a two-step sequence, Ctrl+C THEN Arrow Right
— or are they synonyms, and I could do either one or the other, Ctrl+C OR Arrow Right ?
Trying to resolve ambiguity and lack of clarity is a waste of my time, I have work to do.
And, nope, I have no other keyboard utilities running, and yes, I use Windows 7 64 Pro almost exclusively.

“… I was not able to type without clip diary popping up and not letting me type something to put in it. I do not get it …”
I’m not sure from your description what you are trying to do, but ClipDiary is NOT a text editor, it is a supplement allowing you to look into and use your Windows clipboard history.
To add something to ClipDiary, open Windows Notepad and type something, highlight it, and tap [ Ctrl ][ c ] to copy it,
… then go wherever you want to past that and tap [ Ctrl ][ v ]
… and if you highlight a whole sequence of stuff, say, 2, 3, or more separate different things over time, even over days,
… then you can paste any one of them by:
— opening ClipDiary,
— scrolling to the clipboard entry you want,
— [ Right-click ] it,
— select [ Copy to clipboard ],
— then return to your form field where you want to past it,
— and tap [ Ctrl ][ v ],
… and viola, you have something from 2 or 3 or more cut-and-paste actions from the past.
Whereas, Windows own clipboard only allows access to the ONE most recent cut-and-paste information.
KISS Keep It Simple and Standard at first, and then after success, explore WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, and see if you can figure out additional features, as [user=’Mr.Dave’ id=’15224410′] apparently has – we each explore differently, and we each are after different features and benefits.
Let us know what you find.
