Description

Hi! CopyQ is an amazing tool, thanks for this!

is it a known fact that it is not possible to "drag" text into Notepad in Windows 10 x64? Instead if it can be done to other applications like Notepad++?

Example;

CopyQ gif

CopyQ (5.0.0 version)

I have enabled "Always on Top". I have disabled "Close When Unfocused".

Environment: Windows 10 x64.

Thanks again!
