Activate primary "clipboard" tab after pasting from other tab

[moritzdietz]

I have this workflow of using other tabs which store static content I need to frequently paste.
After this I usually have to use entries from the primary cliboard tab.

I checked the configuration and settings but I couldn't find a built in way to have Copyq switch back to the main tab after pasting from any other tab.

Would this need a global command to have such functionality? Any pointers would be appreciated. :)

The following command copies the selected item (on item activation), hides the main window, pastes the clipboard and switches back to the first tab (here is how to add the command to CopyQ):

[Command]
Command="
    copyq:
    select(currentItem())
    hide()
    paste()
    setCurrentTab(tab()[0])"
Icon=\xf362
InMenu=true
Name=Back to Primary Tab
Shortcut=return, enter

Hey! Thanks for building the command for me. It works perfectly! :)

This lead me to finally digging into the Scripting API docs. You've build a tool that I rely on every single day. At work and on my own devices.
I cannot overstate the importance of its existence and the value it provides to me. I cannot give you physical cake, but have a virtual one: 🍰.
