Problem

It would be nice to have this command: defaults write org.p0deje.Maccy dontIgnoreOnlyNextEvent true

The dontIgnoreOnlyNextEvent would be for when I want Maccy to capture just the next copy event.

Thank you for Maccy!

Solution

Can you elaborate on the use case?

[YBPN]

An app or website where the clipboard is frequently used by text-editing macros (implemented via Keyboard Maestro), during which Maccy should ignore the clipboard. But occasionally an explicit copy is performed (command+C) by the user, which Maccy should not ignore.

And also some macros where saving the clipboard to Maccy is desired. Although, tbh, I've simply been toggling Maccy on and off via defaults write where relevant, so dontIgnoreOnlyNextEvent would just be a nice-to-have.

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to simply integrated Maccy into Keyboard Maestro so when it performs actions, Maccy doesn't store new copies. I'm not familiar with the app though, but I think it should be possible to execute defaults write ... before you start a macro and afterwards too.
