#copyq — Public Fediverse posts

#Espanso doesn't work correctly with the Flatpack version of KDE Kate text editor on Cinnamon Mint using X1 (at least for me). If I have a trigger of 'ofc' it should expand that to 'of course'. Except it's more likely to produce 'of cuor se' or 'ofc oseur'.

#AutoKey (different from AutoHotKey) does the same if I choose "keyboard" as the entry method, but it has other methods to add text: three clipboard ones (Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Shift+V, Shift+Insert), plus Mouse Selection (which does nothing).

Downside is that every text expansion I do then ends up cluttering the clipboard history utility I use, #CopyQ. So I had to define some hotkeys in that to toggle clipboard storing, and mostly run with CopyQ inactive until I needed it.

And it's frankly a pain to add expansions to AutoKey.
As an example:

Ctrl+N to start a new entry
type in "everyone" as its name
click in the expansion box (can't even tab to it)
Backspace out "Enter phrase contents"
type in "everyone" as its contents
Mouse down to Paste Using
Select "Shift+Insert"
Mouse down more to Abbreviations: Set
Click "Add" in the popup
type "e1" and hit Enter
Click "Match phrase case to typed abbreviation"
Click "OK"
Ctrl+S to save entry

That's thirteen steps to add an entry, compare to editing a single text file in Espanso and adding

trigger: "e1"
replace: "everyone"

Though that basic entry would always produce "everyone" and not "Everyone" when I type "E1" instead of "e1".

AutoKey does have text files, but it's one per entry, which is not remotely as convenient.

I can confirm that /usr/bin/Xwayland is running [ps -xa]

pushd /usr/share/wayland-sessions

I want to add both copyq menu and copyq show as global hotkeys

What have I overlooked?

Meanwhile I read at this lightdm wiki about syntax I need to use and in which file I need to do manual edits

#copyq

First oddity I've noticed in #LinuxMint 22.2. I installed #CopyQ 11.0.0 from the repo. I use Ctrl+Backslash as the key to Show/Hide the Main Window. Mainly I use RightCtrl, but occasionally I use LeftCtrl.
  
Both used to work on Linux Mint 22.1. Now RightCtrl+Backslash opens the window on one keypress, as expected.
  
LeftCtrl+Backslash requires a quick double tap to do the same. A single keypress doesn't open CopyQ's main window.
  
I've assigned some other global commands in CopyQ to have Ctrl in them, and they're similarly biased against LeftCtrl. Odd.

Every time there's a new version of #CopyQ I update it in hopes that it will have started working again now. And the answer is always no. It starts, but does not pick up anything I copy. It's been like this for a long time, across distros. I suspect it's got something to do with #Wayland? But I see Wayland mentioned in the changelog as if it works? Makes me sad, CopyQ is such an incredible tool. Is there anything similarly powerful for #Gnome? #Linux #LinuxApps

@LXQt

Thank you for the advice. I will try that out

#Wayland #Xorg #parcellite #CopyQ

#SBC #ARM #Pie #Raspberry #GPIO #Electronics #OpenSource #POSIX

Because of this omission in Wayland, which does it in a totally different manner, the pop-up window of the clipboard manager CopyQ, cannot function. I'm still going to use it though because at least the icon appears in the status bar

No hay alternativa a CopyQ

#CopyQ es un gestor del portapapeles con superpoderes, multiplataforma, agnóstico en cuanto al entorno de escritorio y tremendamente práctico:

https://tiddlyblog.tiddlyhost.com/#CopyQ

Pensaba que era CopyQ el que no estaba preparado para dar su 100% en #Wayland, ¡pero no!... Es Wayland el que no está preparado para permitir que cualquier gestor de portapapeles inserte un elemento, elegido del historial, en la última ventana activa, como sí era posible en X11.

Si se usa Wayland, ahora son dos pasos (con cualquier gestor de portapapeles): elegir el elemento del historial y, además, ejecutar la acción de pegar (por combinación de teclas, menú o icono de la aplicación que recibirá el contenido).

Aunque ya me estoy resignando y reconozco algunas bondades de Wayland, esta "característica" no me gustó nada.

Se tem algo INDISPENSÁVEL no meu dia a dia é um gerenciador de área de transferência! Nunca mais ficar preocupado ou chateado com ter que procurar um programa fechado para fazer um control + c! Só leveza na mente. Bão demais. No PC uso o #CopyQ e no celular uso o do teclado Android #HeliBoard (F-Droid). Também recomendo esse teclado por outros motivos, então aproveite :blobBone_jump:

Recomendo muito. Quem já usa aqui?? Depoimentos HoHOho
