Disable notifications temporarily

[wetware05]

Hi.

Wow, this has been changed. I don't know where I am, nor how to search.

Is there a command or shortcut to temporarily disable notifications? There are times when I use a script (in other programs) that clutters the clipboard and notifications of copied items become uncomfortable.

Why does it show that there is a comment, but I don't see it? (???)

The above is a bit cryptic but, I don't get notifications when clipboard is added to on Windows, I'd check for an CopyQ option that might cause that...

Hi dbareis.

That option is the settings, notifications. Use Windows notifications. But on some systems Windows does not enable CopyQ and you have to enable it.

It's fine for me. So I know when the clipboard is used. But there are times I'd like to disable it (when I'm copying over and over). If the author created an "action" with a keyboard shortcut you could have that option

copyq config clipboard_notification_lines 0 would effectively disable the automated clipboard notifications. The re-enable, replace 0 with a positive integer (as a maximum number of lines in the notification).

Hi, hluk.

I don't know if you mean that this change must be done in the copyq.ini file or that an action can be done with "copyq config clipboard_notification_lines 0". I was referring to an action or a keyboard shortcut to change the state. If it is not possible, you could implement it in future versions.

The command can be added in Command dialog with a custom assigned shortcut:

[Command]
Command="
    copyq:
    const lines = 3;
    const currentValue = config('clipboard_notification_lines');
    const newValue = (lines == currentValue) ? 0 : lines;
    config('clipboard_notification_lines', newValue);"
GlobalShortcut=meta+n
Icon=\xf4b3
IsGlobalShortcut=true
Name=Toggle Clipboard Notifications

(here is how to add the command to CopyQ)

Or you can go to Shortcuts tab in Preferences dialog and assign a shortcut to "Disable clipboard storing".

It does not work. Well, for now I'll use the option to disable the clipboard. Thank you, hluk.
