Good morning,

I need to say that this text is originally written in Portuguese and transcribed into English by ChatGPT, so I hope it remains understandable.

I have been using FastKey a lot, and alongside that, I have been using another clipboard manager. Normally, I used FastKey to trigger shortcuts in the other manager, but I am transitioning to the native clipboard manager of FastKey itself.

My problem lies in this transition. When I try to use the manager with a simple example:

{tab}{ctrl down}c{ctrl up}{right}{right}{ctrl down}c{ctrl up}

The FastKey clipboard only recognizes the last copied item.

I thought there might be a need for a wait time. So I added:
{tab}{250}{ctrl down}c{ctrl up}{250}{right}{right}{250}{ctrl down}c{ctrl up}{250}

By doing this, it doesn’t save anything at all. Neither the first nor the second data entry. I tried using character shortcuts: ^c - This also doesn’t work. It doesn’t copy anything (considering that I'm trying to make two or more copies).

I attempted to use macro shortcuts:
{VKA2 down}{VKA0 down}
Same result. It doesn’t work.

I tried using options to insert a separate command where I included the shortcuts or the wait time. Nothing worked.

I even tried switching between the left and right Ctrl keys, but that didn’t work either.

Note: In other clipboard managers and even in Windows 10’s clipboard manager, it works fine; it’s just not working in FastKey.

Not sure what you mean. FastKeys clipboard manager works automatically and you can retrieve it by using a Shift+Ctrl+V to select and paste one of the entries. In text expander you can also use the fields %CLIP1%, %CLIP2% etc.
