Description

**Describe the bug**
I'm configuring a Windows 10 (Citrix) VDI and try to get copyq working. I have this problem that my pastes from copyq are not being pasted in the current window (tried multiple applications: Notepad++, notepad.exe, . My selected item is copied to the clipboard, so a CTRL+V or Shift+Insert will paste this, but this will take an extra step which is not needed.

I've tried many approached:
- install latest copyq (v3.11.1) and set it up from scratch
- install latest copyq (v3.11.1) and import settings from a working copyq version of my desktop-pc
- install latest copyq (v3.11.1) and copy %APPDATA%\copyq dir from working copyq version of my desktop-pc
- install older copyq v3.6.1 and set it up from scratch
- tried the paste_with_ctrl_v_windows=".*" option in General section of copyq.ini

**To Reproduce**
in all approaches I use Meta+Insert as global shortcut to open copyq and with Preference > History > ' After item is activated...' options enabled.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to notepad
2. META+Insert to open copyq
3. pick an item
4. Hit Enter

My selected item is not pasted in notepad, it is copied to the clipboard, so a CTRL+V or Shift+Insert will paste this (the focus is back to the notepad application), but this will take an extra step which is not needed.

**Expected behavior**
Paste the selected item in notepad after the 'Enter'

**Version, OS and Environment**
- Application Version: 3.11.1
- OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 1903
- Citrix VDI
