CopyQ 12.0.0 has been released, enhancing its functionality as an open-source clipboard manager. This tool offers a searchable and editable clipboard history, supports various image formats, and allows for command-line control. During installation, users can select from a range of plugins—such as highlighting, images, notes, and encryption—tailoring the tool to their needs. However, once installed, it appears that adding or removing plugins is not straightforward, which may encourage users to install additional features they may not utilize.
CopyQ operates in the system tray, remaining unobtrusive until needed. It effectively captures everything copied to the clipboard, including text, links, and images. The user interface is equipped with intuitive buttons that provide quick access to clipboard items, allowing users to view content, preview, delete, or edit entries. When editing, users are presented with a variety of tools to customize their clipboard items, including font options and formatting styles.
While the software is generally user-friendly, some quirks in navigation have been noted. For example, after opening an item, finding a way to return to the previous view can be tricky, and the deletion of an item leads to an odd empty window rather than a straightforward return to the clipboard history. Despite these minor challenges, CopyQ offers a significantly more robust clipboard experience compared to the standard clipboard, which typically only retains the most recent item.
In summary, CopyQ 12.0.0 stands out as a powerful tool for managing clipboard history, particularly for users who require advanced features for text and image handling. Its ongoing development and open-source nature mean it is likely to see continuous improvements and additional features in future releases, making it a valuable asset for those looking to enhance their clipboard management capabilities
