Commands have a few second delay when pasting content.
Describe the bug
This is one of my commands, which is set to a global hotkey of Ctrl + Alt + V, as I use this a lot. This command and others with similar formatting take between 5-10 seconds to execute.
copyq: var otext = str(clipboard()) var text = str(otext) + str('?support=true') text = text.replace(' ', '') copy(text) paste() copy(otext)
This has always been a little slow, however when my computer updated to Windows 11, this seems to have gotten significantly worse.
To Reproduce
- Copy some text, like Bing.com.
- In a new browser window, click in the URL bar and press the global hotkey, Control + Alt + V.
- 5-7 seconds later bing.com?support=true will be pasted.
Expected behavior
I am not sure what an expected delay is from starting a command with CopyQ, however 5-7 seconds seems longer than necessary.
Screenshots
I'm sorry it's hard to take screenshots, as the CopyQ windows turn blank when I try to screenshot them. I've recreated the Process Manager information Below:
| ID | Name | Status | Started | Finished | Time (Seconds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 62 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:59:14 | 11/10/2025 17:59:20 | 6 |
| 55 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:59:04 | 11/10/2025 17:59:09 | 5 |
| 8 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:44:54 | 11/10/2025 17:45:00 | 6 |
| 17 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:45:38 | 11/10/2025 17:45:43 | 5 |
| 24 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:46:01 | 11/10/2025 17:46:07 | 6 |
| 37 | Paste Support after Clipboard | Finished | 11/10/2025 17:46:33 | 11/10/2025 17:46:40 | 7 |

Additional context
I'm also experiencing about that much of a delay for show/hide on Windows 11 24H2 (OS Build 26100.6899). It may relate to Purvue as this is a work machine. CopyQ is unusable now as it essentially feels like it keeps 'freezing'.
Is that what it feels like to you @Snowy556 ?

I'm not sure, if I open the process manager, I can see the process open right as I press the keybind, it just takes the time before it pastes.
For me it's still quicker and easier than typing what I need, just a little annoying, but hey, squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?
I actually have a really interesting update to this bug. I normally have my CopyQ start with windows.
If CopyQ starts with windows, the commands take 5-10 seconds to execute.
If I quit and re-open CopyQ, the commands are almost instant.
Verified with another user who is on CopyQ V7-ish.
