Created on 24 Jan 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: hluk/CopyQ

Describe the bug
Command dialog in CopyQ (F6 shortcut) - this doesn't work for me. I see it in all docs, but whether CopyQ is focused or not it won't work.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Just press F6 - does not work - when Chrome is in focus it does sth there
  1. Open CopyQ (Ubuntu 18.04)

  2. Press F6 - nothing

Version, OS and Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu 18.04
  • Version: CopyQ Clipboard Manager v3.2.0 ([email protected])
    Built with: Qt 5.9.3, LibQxt 0.7.0
  • Desktop

I must be missing something basic here as "show main window under mouse coursor" works and I have added a shortcut for it CTRL+SHIFT+V

Oh, ok, stand corrected.

You just need to click "Show/Hide" from the tray menu. That's the only way for me to see the main menu as it does not load in the side panel (maybe I turned it off?).

Anyways, when I open the main window with the "File" menu and then do F6 it works.

Yeah, I can see it can be confusing. I was just replying with the same.

The menu behavior is handled by desktop environment, the app doesn't have complete control over it.

Preferred way to show the main window is to assign global shortcut.

Thanks!! I wouldn't even think of first assigning a shortcut in order to open the main menu. I would just go to see the docs or give up (I wouldn't click on random "Show/Hide" - don't know what it means in this context). In this case, since I know what Github is :) I was able to get your help this way.

Maybe then "Show/Hide" in the tray menu could be "Show/Hide Main Menu" ?
