Created on 31 Oct 2019  ยท  5Comments  ยท  Source: hluk/CopyQ

Describe the bug
Pasting selected record from history in current application window is not working.

To Reproduce
CopyQ is with enabled cipboard sharing. copy text to clipboard. Try to retrieve object and paste to another program window (whichever it is). Select from history and either press enter or double click. Nothing happens. Text is not pasted.
Though, selected Item is added to clipboard. So consecutive "Command-V" pastes the selected entry.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Thanks for the reference! Actually that helped me to work the issue around.

  1. brew cask remove copyq
  2. reboot machine
  3. brew cask install copyq
  4. start copyq.
  5. Accept to run the app from "unknown source"
  6. when asked , do allow CopyQ access to Accessibility in "security and privacy"

My case was similar to https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/1030#issuecomment-496096481
Migrated from old computer to the current. So I suppose something happened during migration and the proper rights were not assigned.

Obviously not CopyQ but mac issue (whoorray!)
Thanks a lot and sorry for bothering :)

For me, with the same issue, I had to remove and add CopyQ again in Accessibility and the auto-paste functionality was restored.
(I began having this issue after upgrading to Catalina)

I believe that all you need to do to fix the issue is to untick and retick CopyQ in the Accessibility preferences, see https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/1030#issuecomment-633205588.

Resolve for me. Thanks!
