  const texts = sel.itemsFormat(mimeText);
  sel.sort(function(i,j){
      return texts[i] < texts[j];
  });
  

Changed

• More shortcuts and even sequences of shortcuts can be now captured and
  assigned. This uses new QKeySequenceEdit UI widget from Qt framework.

• Script function config() now lists current values for each option (#412).
  Example of new copyq config output:

  ...
  clipboard_notification_lines=3
    Number of lines to show for new clipboard content.
  
    Set to 0 to disable.
  clipboard_tab=&clipboard
    Name of tab that will automatically store new clipboard content.
  
    Leave empty to disable automatic storing.

  avoids synchronizing selection and showing popup if less than two characters
  where copied.

• Wayland: Fixes synchronizing selection with clipboard in various cases.

• Wayland: Fixes possible crash when managed clipboard data changes while it is
  accessed.

6.2.0

Added

• Tabs can now load at least some items from a partially corrupted data file
  dropping the rest of the items.

• Simpler and safer data saving uses Qt framework (QSaveFile).

• New Settings class in scripts can be used to manage INI configuration
  files (#1964).

Changed

  special escape characters.

6.1.0

Added

• Users can now customize shortcuts for the built-in editor (#708).

• Users can now set default style sheet for HTML items to override for example
  color for hyperlinks with a { color: lightblue } (#1859). The new settings
  can be found under Item configuration tab under Text sub-tab.

Changed

• Window geometry (size and position) restoring is now simpler: The app sets
  geometry only initially and when the current screen/monitor changes.

  The mouse cursor position indicates the current screen. In case the app
  cannot inspect the mouse pointer position (for example on some Wayland
  compositors), it is left up to the window manager to decide to move the
  window to another screen.

  Users can still disable the automatic geometry by running the following
  command (in Action dialog or terminal) and restarting the app:

  copyq config restore_geometry false
  

Fixed

• Fixes moving items in synchronized tabs after activating them from the
  context menu (#1897).

• Windows: Fixes tray icon tooltip (#1864).

• Windows: External editor command now treats native path separators properly
  (#1894, #1868).

  (#1866).

• Wayland: Fixes using correct window title icon (#1910).

• Wayland: Fixes retrieving UTF-8 encoded text from selection in environments
  which supports it.

• Wayland: Fixes restoring window size without breaking window position (window
  position cannot be set in most or all Wayland compositors).

6.0.1

Fixed

• X11: Fixes global/system-wide shortcuts (#1860).

6.0.0

Added

• Native notifications now have lower urgency if the display interval is less
  than 10 seconds. This makes clipboard change notification less intrusive.

• Preview dock can be focused with Tab key (#1826). Escape, Tab or Shift+Tab
  returns focus back to the item list.

• All options are now documented/described when using command copyq config.

• Command editor now supports highlighting multi-line strings enclosed by
  backticks (#1845).

• New option to disable restoring window/dialog geometry (app needs to be
  restarted after changing the option):

  copyq config restore_geometry false
  

• macOS: New option to enable native tray menu (#1652):

  copyq config native_tray_menu true
  

• Support for building the source code with Qt 6 framework.

Changed

• While search bar is focused, pressing Down or PageDown key now selects next
  item without focusing the item list (#1834).

• Internal commands (like ""Show/hide main window", Pin/Unpin, Encrypt/Decrypt)
  will now be automatically updated in following application releases or
  whenever the language changes. The side-effect is that only icon, shortcuts,
  enabled state and list order can be changed for these commands. Old internal
  commands added in previous versions (5.0.0 and lower) of the app need to be
  removed manually.

• Increases the default delay for storing changed clipboard owner. This can
  help save correct window title for new clipboard content when the window is
  closed right after the copy operation. The delay can be changed using:

  copyq config change_clipboard_owner_delay_ms 500
  

• The application version now excludes the "v" prefix in UI and CLI.

• Log Qt warnings by default (at Warning log level messages).

• Linux: Other data formats are now stored for primary selection so as to
  support some automatic commands properly (for example, ignore selection when
  it contains a special format). Images and non-plain text formats are still
  ignored for performance reasons.

Fixed

• Drag'n'drop operations are now properly ended (#1809).

• Main window will now open only inside the visible screen area (#1768).

• "Clear Current Tab" command will no longer show a message dialog if there are
  pinned items (#1823).

• Improves initial size for native tray menu.

• Fixes removing backup file for old commands configuration.

• Fixes broken item selection state (#1828).

• Fixes hiding main window immediately when shown. This can be caused by long
  animations in window manager.

• Further performance improvements for logging, application startup and file
  synchronization.

• Linux: Native status icon (using D-Bus) is used by default instead of the
  legacy tray icon. Application start delay/sleep hacks should no longer be
  needed (#1526).

• Wayland: Improved clipboard access.

• Wayland: Fixes selection/clipboard synchronization.

• Windows: Any application instance is now closed automatically before
  installation.

v5.0.0

Added

• Search matches similar accented characters (#1318). For example, searching
  for "vacsina" would also show items containing "väčšina".

• If the clipboard tab is renamed, clipboard will be still stored in the
  renamed tab. Similarly if a specific tab is set for tray menu. This basically
  modifies clipboard_tab, tray_tab options when renaming tabs.

• New predefined command to clear the current tab.

• Tabs can be reordered in Preferences (in addition to tab bar/tree).

• Tabs can be reordered from command line or a script. For example:

  copyq 'config("tabs", ["&clipboard", "work", "study"])'
  

• New buttons can move commands, tabs and plugins in configuration to top and
  bottom with a single click. This previously required dragging item to the
  top/bottom or multiple clicks on the move up/down buttons.

• Script function dialog() supports non-editable combo box. For example:

  var choice = dialog('.combo:Select', ['a', 'b', 'c'])
  

• Script function dialog() restores last position and size of dialog
  windows with matching title (set with .title).

• Syntax highlighting for more script keywords.

• New script class ItemSelection allows more powerful, consistent, safe and
  fast handling of multiple items. Examples:

  // move matching items to the top of the tab
  ItemSelection().select(/^prefix/).move(0)
  
  // remove all items from given tab but keep pinned items
  ItemSelection(tabName).selectRemovable().removeAll();
  

Changed

• Simpler lock file mechanism is used instead of a system semaphore and shared
  memory lock (#1737). This allows to support more platforms.

• Editor font from Appearance settings is used for the edit widget in Command
  and Action dialogs (#1757).

• Theme does not modify the scrollbar in item list by default (#1751).

Removed

• Windows: Migrating old configuration from registry to file format is no
  longer supported.

v4.1.0

• Old notification system can now be used instead of native/system
  notifications (#1620). This can be disabled in Notifications tab in
  Preferences.

• Additional configuration file for notifications will not be created
  automatically (#1638).

• In scripting, console object can be used for logging, measuring elapsed
  time and asserting conditions.

• plugins.itempinned.mimePinned contains item data format for pinned items
  (item is pinned if it contains the format).

• Command completion menu contains more complete list of script
  objects/function and better description.

• Action dialog command, action() and commands (if "Content"/filter regular
  expression is unset) now do not replace %2 through %9. This allows
  passing URLs without requiring to escape encoded characters like %20 or
  %3A.

• Syntax highlighting for hexadecimal and boolean values in the command editor.

• Fix moving the main window to different display/screen (#1624).

• Windows: Native notifications are disabled on Windows 7 (#1623). This fixes
  crash because of unsupported features.

• Windows: Fixed crash when loading some themes (#1621).

• Wayland: Restores last stored geometry for a window (since getting current
  screen does not work).

• MinGW Windows builds are available again (without native notification
  support).
