Use hot key to paste clipping (clipping items only)
To enable the hot key shown below, check this box.
When the hot key is enabled, pressing it will cause the contents of the clipping to be copied to the clipboard, and then pasted into the frontmost application.
Be careful not to use a hot key that contains modifiers that will change the behaviour of the Paste command in other applications. For example, in BBEdit, if you hold down the Shift key the Paste command becomes "Paste Previous Clipboard" which hides the normal command in the menu bar. If that happens, DragThing won't be able to perform a paste.
