Describe the bug I added Meta+V shortcut to "Show the tray menu". Instead of pressing once, I need to press shortcut twice to see tray menu. Everything works as intented with Ctrl+Meta+V

Version, OS and Environment

CopyQ Clipboard Manager v3.9.1 Qt: 5.12.4 Compiler: GCC Arch: x86_64-little_endian-lp64 OS: Pop!_OS 19.10

It's quite possible that the desktop environment (or window manager) get in the way.

Gnome has super+v shortcut to open "notification widget", but i've disabled that.

Manully adding copyq -e "menu()" to Super+V in gnome keyboard settings "fixed" this issue.

I added copyq -e "toggle()" to super+v in gnome keyboard settings to have the main window that displays image files too.

Should we update readme to tell about this?
