CopyQ for Mac is a simple clipboard management utility for macOS. It allows you to save more than the default one item into clipboard which is the limit for Mac.

What's new in this version:

Added:
- Emacs navigation key-bindings support
- Adds support for setting urgency and persistency to notifications. Script function notification() takes new arguments: '.urgency' (low, normal, high, critical), '.persistent' (toggle persistent notification)

Changed:
- Updates icon font from Font-Awesome 6.7.2
- On Windows, the main window is shown when starting the application using the program icon
- Calling exit() script function prints "Terminating server" on stderr instead of stdout

Fixed:
- Fixes item selection with Ctrl+Space
- Fixes confirming exit if any commands are running
- Fixes selecting specific row on search
- Clipboard data cloning will be now aborted if the data changes during the process. This avoids using incomplete data in rare cases.
- Fixes contrast of the selected row number color (#2887). The row number text color of selected item is set to the same color as item text by default. This can be overridden via "Edit Theme" button using option num_sel_fg.
- Fixes internal editor syntax highlighting for numbers containing separators (for example 100_000, 0x1234_abcd) and avoids incorrectly highlighting multiple lines as regular expression in some cases.
- On GNOME (Wayland session), the clipboard monitor and provider processes run in XWayland mode because GNOME does not support Wayland data control protocol. This behavior can be skipped by settings QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable to "wayland" (or other value).
- On Wayland compositors, fixes unnecessary application start delay if clipboard access (the data control protocol) is not supported
- On Linux, the "Ignore items with no or single character" predefined command properly avoids synchronizing empty text or single character
- On Linux, fixes waiting on keyboard modifiers release when synchronizing selection
- Avoids recursive item preview updates when using display commands
- Avoids removing items if drag'n'drop action fails
- Wayland: Fixes crash if getting owned clipboard data
- Wayland: Fixes setting UTF-8 text on broken GNOME's XWayland
