F3 hotkey for "View Full Description" always opens the first item instead of the selected item

Ditto version: 03.25.113.00 64bit (portable) SQLite version: 3.45.2 OS: Windows

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the Ditto clipboard list (Ctrl + `)
  2. Use arrow keys to select an item other than the first one (confirmed by highlight)
  3. Press F3
  4. Expected: preview shows the selected item
  5. Actual: preview always shows the first item in the list, regardless of selection

Additional testing:

  • Right-click → "View Full Description" on the same selected item works correctly (shows the correct image)
  • Rebinding "View Full Description" to a mouse click in Options → Quick Paste Keyboard also works correctly (shows the correct image)
  • This confirms the bug is isolated to the F3 keyboard shortcut binding specifically — the preview feature itself and the selection state are both working correctly. The issue is likely that the F3 key handler reads a fixed/default index (e.g. index 0) instead of the currently selected item's index.

Workaround: rebind "View Full Description" to mouse click or use the right-click context menu instead of F3.
