What do you use for global shortcuts?

[Jason Gomez]

Hi. I have just started using CopyQ. For many years I've been using Clipboard Indicator on Linux (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicator) which is relatively simple and ClipJump on Windows (https://clipjump.sourceforge.net/).

ClipJump is an autohotkey program, so it could intercept Ctrl-V keypresses to bring up a little tooltip with the last clipboard entry and you could go back into the history with repeated pressed of Ctrl-V and go forward with Ctrl-X until the clip you want appears in the tooltip and which point you released the Ctrl key.

In copyq I have vim keys enabled for the main window, which is very nice and the initial thing that attracted me to try it, before I realised how powerful it is. But I am not sure what global hotkeys to use with it without causing conflicts. So far I am using Ctrl-Shift-V to bring up the main window and it's working well without conflicts.

I use the function keys in some programs, including vim/gvim. so I think I could use a some Ctrl-Function keys combos, unless I find them used by something else in either Windows or Linux.

Q: Is it possible to make certain program be excluded from the global hotkeys? This was possible with ClipJump.

Q: What global shortcuts to long--term users use to avoid conflicts?

Thanks for any answers
