Shortcut Groups
Shortcut Groups are a way to organize your shortcuts in logical groups. It is highly recommended to use groups, especially when your shortcuts start growing and you would like to be able to find or print shortcuts easily, or deactivate groups. Groups are allowed in "Text Shortcuts" and "Text Blocks".
You can modify group attributes by selecting a line in the "Group" list (in the lower left section of the "Text Shortcuts" or "Text Blocks" tab). Once a group is selected, right-click to see the context menu. You can also access the same options by using the "Groups" menu.
Activate Group
The purpose of activating/deactivating groups is so all shortcuts under a group can be turned off temporarily but not permanently deleted. Select the "Active" checkbox from the menu. If a green light appears to the left of the group name, then the group is active (default state). If a red light appears to the left of the group name, then the group is inactive. In this example, the "Shortcuts" group is inactive. All shortcuts in this group will not be expanded by Ditto.
Create Group
To create a group, select the "Add Group..." option from the group selection list available when you create a shortcut. Alternatively, you can add a group using the Quick-Add dialog, the Groups menu, or the Group list context menu.
Enter the name of the group. A group must exist before you can add shortcuts to it.
Rename Group
Select "Rename Group" from the menu. Enter the name of the new group. All shortcuts in the old group will be assigned to the new group.
Delete Group
Select "Delete Group" from the menu. Notice: All shortcuts in the group will be removed as well.
