About CopyQ

Clipboard manager with advanced features

What's new in 17.0.0

Added

  • Adds support for GNOME 50 (#3677).

Changed

• Tab data and state files are moved to XDG-compliant directories,
%LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows and ~/Library/Application Support on macOS
(#3692, #3693). State path can be changed using COPYQ_STATE_PATH
environment variable.

Important:This is backwards incompatible. The data and state files are
moved when the new app version starts. Older versions of the app will not see
these files and basically lose all items.

  • FakeVim is updated from upstream repository.

Fixed

• Fixes audio engine always using a small amount of CPU and indicating (on KDE)
that it plays audio (#3684). The engine is initialized only when needed and
released after it stops playing all audio.

  • Fixes initial script dialog size (#3700). Thanks to @wyf-777.
  • Fixes slow tab icon lookups when the app contains many item tabs (#3721).
  • Thanks to @jkindrix (Justin Kindrix).
  • Fixes keeping old tabs in configuration (#3722). Thanks to @sakashimaa.
  • Windows:Prevents app from attempting (unsuccessfully) to paste to windows
  • the user cannot switch back to (#2556). Thanks to @ntzb.
  • Wayland:Fixes global shortcuts failing when portal service starts later or
  • restarts (#3616, #3680).
  • Wayland:Fixes global shortcuts in non-default sessions (#3713).
  • Wayland:Fixes rebinding global shortcuts on start (#3678).
  • Thanks to @Memoraike (Meow).
  • Synchronize plugin:Fixes GUI freeze when removing items and on startup and
  • retrying to remove absent files (#3629, #3697).
