Generally for my setup the synchronise clipboards option is not really useable, as selecting text to delete will copy primary ahead of the clipboard text you want to replace it with. But there are times when you really want to synchronise for situations that only use one or the other clipboard, so that you don't have to open the history and manually select the last one, which I find myself doing all day!

So it would be great to have a hotkey that synchronises the clipboards just once, not actually turning the synchronise option on. And maybe it would only be a few extra lines of code?

My solution is that make it always sync clipboards except the ctrl key is pressed. And I have done it. Do you think that's OK?

i'm not sure if @rafaqz's suggestion really makes sense... i would rather suggest having 2 different shortcuts: one for copy and one for copy & sync, so you can avoid having to press 2 shortcuts (which is also not ideal in the long run) for this usecase.

@hippyk's PR #80 is a pretty elegant solution and might be the best one for this issue. 👍

I agree, apologies somehow I missed that PR.
