A CopyQ command to implement a Clipboard FIFO
Raw
FIFO.ini
[Command]
Command="

select(maxrow)
try {
paste()
} catch (e) {
// Pasting failed!

That's because of the value of the move setting (Preferences -> History -> Move item to the top). When true, the script needs a tweak. The reason is that the select function not only selects but can also move depending on that setting. You can have it like the following to work with both values:

[Command]
Command="
copyq: 
maxrow = count() - 1
select(maxrow)
paste()
if (config('move') == 'true') {
  remove(0)
} else {
  remove(maxrow)
}"
GlobalShortcut=ctrl+shift+v

I just updated it to a version that works with CopyQ v10.0.0.
Thank you @waiting-for-dev !
