Description

Hello I'm using windows 10. I want to use this command: https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/wiki/Command-Examples#copy-clipboard-to-window-tabs but it's based on window title. some applications don't have their name in window title. for example explorer and telegram. so that command is useless. is there a way to get their process name? explorer.exe and telegram.exe and make tabs based on that
