Hi
In Windows, I use Clipdiary. It shows a tooltip with a preview of the clipboard item (text or image) when navigating through history with a hotkey. On macOS, CopyQ doesn't show which item is selected unless the main window is open.
This makes it difficult to paste the right content quickly without opening the app window.

Cases where it matters:

  • there is a sequence of copied text or images (usually in a row) that I want to paste, keeping them in order;
  • I want to reuse recently (usually, some in the last ~20 items, in my case) copied text when filling out various forms.

Describe the solution you'd like

A tooltip (or a small floating window, which exists until the last key of a hotkey is not released) will eliminate the need to open the program window when working with recently copied items.

Example:

Same with images.
