Description

I've noticed that CopyQ runs a lot slower when using battery power on my MacBook, even with low power mode off. This mostly applies to scrolling through tabs or clipboard items using the arrow keys. Is there a way I can prioritize CopyQ on battery power, making the performance similar to on battery power?

Version, OS and Environment CopyQ Clipboard Manager 9.0.0-gdc155ef9-master Qt: 6.7.0 KNotifications: 5.249.0 Compiler: GCC Arch: arm64-little_endian-lp64 OS: macOS 15.0
