Copicu v0.3.0 — public feedback refresh
Highlights
- Added scoped clipboard search for visible metadata and capture context:
meta:/metadata:searches title, notes, and tags.title:searches editable item titles.notes:/note:searches item notes.ctx:/context:searches hidden capture context.window:remains the captured source window-title filter.
- Added configurable picker search trigger modes: realtime, Enter, or Search button;
Ctrl+Enterruns the current query immediately. - Added in-app Search Help from the picker.
- Promoted metadata editing to a native picker shortcut with
Ctrl+Shift+C. - Added batch metadata append, replace, and smart-merge flows for selected items.
- Added a picker quit control and release-safe quit command.
- Hardened scoped search behavior used by “mark all results” so metadata/context filters do not accidentally apply to all items.
- Refreshed README/release docs for a public feedback pass.
- Kept AI optional and disabled by default; AI search planning can translate intent into local filters without sending clipboard payloads.
What to test
Please use synthetic or non-sensitive clipboard content only when reporting issues.
- Picker search with
meta:,title:,notes:,ctx:,window:, and negated forms like-meta:draft. - Realtime vs Enter vs Search-button trigger modes in Settings > Picker.
Ctrl+Shift+Cmetadata editing for one item and multiple selected items.- Paste-to-previous-window behavior in Notepad, browsers, VS Code/editors, terminals, chat apps, and admin/elevated windows.
- Local script/action workflows that would save real time.
- Whether the README/demo make the product understandable in under 30 seconds.
- SmartScreen/Defender/install friction for the Windows installer.
Known limitations
- Windows is the primary tested platform.
- The installer may still trigger SmartScreen/Defender warnings for a young/unsigned app.
- Paste-to-previous-window depends on Windows foreground/focus behavior, target apps, timing, and paste shortcuts.
- Scripts are trusted local automation, not a secure sandbox or marketplace.
- Search syntax and metadata behavior may still evolve.
title:means editable item title; source window title search useswindow:.- AI is optional and disabled by default. Selected-content AI actions may send selected content to the configured provider.
- Rich clipboard formats are still evolving. Text and image-only capture exist; full HTML/RTF/custom-format fidelity is not a compatibility promise.
- Copicu is CopyQ-inspired, not CopyQ-compatible.
