12.0.0 - CopyQ Release Notes | AnnounceHQ

Back to changelog

NewSeptember 29, 2025

12.0.0

Added

Wayland: Global shortcuts are now registered using Portal if available.
Black theme (#3142). Thanks to @FadeMind.
Adds attributes for controlling the dialog window created via dialog() (#2947): .onTop makes the dialog stay on top of other windows, .modal makes the dialog modal (blocks interaction with other windows in the application until closed).
Adds support showing icon font symbol in notes using application/x-copyq-item-icon format.
Adds support for setting colors in theme files by name. For example: edit_bg=white.

Changed

Temporary tabs that are not stored on disk will now not expire if configuration changes (#3172).
Pinned and locked items will not be dropped if tab size (maximum item count) changes (#3008).
The app now propagates exit code properly if it is aborted or receives a Unix signal (SIGINT, SIGTERM).
Support for Qt older than 5.15 has been dropped.

The build now uses Qt 6 by default. Use cmake -DWITH_QT6=OFF ... to build the app for Qt 5.

Windows: The application will be now hidden from screenshots and screen recordings by default (#3165). This can be disabled using option "Hide from screenshots and recordings".

Logs are now stored in multiple files based on the process and the log records have a slightly different format (start with timestamp).

Fixes

Drops unsafe sanitizing QTextDocument fonts (#3156). Qt 6 should handle any rich texts safely now.
Logging now does not use lock files and avoids crashes if the application loop was not yet started.
Avoids resetting properties of a tab if it is renamed.
Fixes setting color for item counter (#2717).
Fixes editing and providing UTF-8 text by default (#3093).
Fixes updating item preview if when window is shown.
Fixes changing synchronization directory for a tab.
Fixes possible crash if calling a function with unexpected function argument.
Fixes background of the command line in some themes in FakeVim plugin.
Fixes renaming tabs with item storing disabled.
Avoids collapsing tab in the tab tree after it is moved.
Fixes item counter value after moving the tab in the tab tree.
Fixes moving tab group with items in the tab tree.
Linux: Fixes storing the first clipboard change after starting the app and modifying configuration.
Linux: Avoids exiting on commit data request from the session manager (#3145).
