Description

I spent a bit of time reading the docs/faq and couldn't find this info there. I've been using the fcitx5 clipboard feature for a while, and it displays the clipboard history right under where the text area (where the text will be pasted), rather than where the mouse is. I was wondering if it'd be possible to achieve a similar behaviour on CopyQ.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the popup menu position is determined in the codebase (likely in the clipboard item delegate or main window), and change it to use the text cursor position instead of the mouse position, similar to fcitx5 behavior.
