CopyQ has recently released version 10.0.0, enhancing its capabilities as an Open Source clipboard manager. This tool not only maintains a searchable and editable clipboard history but also supports various image formats and allows command-line control. During the installation process, users can select from a range of plugins that offer functionalities such as highlighting, image handling, note-taking, and encryption. It is advisable to choose only the essential plugins, as the application does not currently support adding or removing plugins post-installation.
Once installed, CopyQ operates discreetly in the system tray, remaining out of sight until needed. It effectively captures all clipboard content, including text, links, and images. The interface includes user-friendly buttons that facilitate quick access to various actions for highlighted clipboard items, such as editing, previewing, or deleting content. The editing feature is particularly robust, offering a variety of tools for formatting text, saving, and applying styles.
While the application has some quirks—like navigating back after opening an item and the peculiar behavior of deleting items—it does not present significant barriers to usability. Users may need some time to familiarize themselves with the interface, but overall, the extensive features and capabilities of CopyQ make it a powerful alternative to the standard clipboard, which only retains the last copied item.
In summary, CopyQ 10.0.0 is a versatile clipboard manager designed for users who need more than just basic clipboard functionality. Its rich feature set, combined with the flexibility of plugin options and an intuitive interface, positions it as a valuable tool for both personal and professional use. Users can expect continual improvements and updates, making it worth exploring for anyone looking to enhance their clipboard management experience
