Ditto is a Chrome extension with a companion Sketch plugin that allows designers to copy CSS font styles from live websites and paste them directly into Sketch as Sketch styles.
INSTALLATION
Installing the Chrome Extension
Open Chrome.
1. Go to chrome://extensions
2. Toggle “Developer Mode” in the upper-right
3. Click “Load Unpacked”
4. Navigate to Downloads/ditto-master/chrome/assets
5. Click Open.
Voila, Ditto should be installed in Chrome. You should see a double-t icon in the extension menu.
Installing the Sketch Plugin
1. Go to Downloads/ditto-master/sketch/
2. Run ditto.sketchplugin__
Voila, Ditto should be installed in Sketch. You should see Ditto in the Plugins dropdown menu.
USAGE
Using the Chrome Extension
1. Go to a page that you want to copy styles from.
2. Click the gray raccoon head in the corner to activate the plugin. When activated, the double-t icon should be bright teal and an empty Clipboard History 3. modal should appear with instructions on what to do.
4. Select the text you would like to copy and press your desired shortcut. The default shortcut is Cmd + Right. I suggest you remap it to something better.
Notes about Chrome Extension Usage
- You can select multiple styles in the page, which will appear in the clipboard history. The pink highlight indicates what is currently copied to the clipboard.
- The Clipboard History exists as a way to put previously copied styles back into the clipboard.
- You can drag the Clipboard History in case it’s covering up some text!
- To copy a previously copied style, simply click on an item in the history that you want to copy. It should now be in your clipboard.
- The clipboard history is per-domain, which means that rei.com and rei.com/subpage/ will share the same clipboard.
Using the Sketch Plugin
1. While the CSS is copied to your clipboard, go to Sketch.
2. Have a text layer ready with some text that you want to re-style.
3. Select the text-layer.
4. Press Ctrl+Opt+V to style the text-layer with the styles in your clipboard. Again I suggest you remap this shortcut to something better.
Notes about Sketch Plugin Usage
-You may use the Plugins/Paste CSS Styles menu instead of the hotkey.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
