Feature request: Global hotkey for pasting multiple copied items in order

Hello Lukas / CopyQ team,

I hope you are doing well, and thank you for your excellent work on CopyQ.

I would like to suggest a feature and get your guidance. I often copy several separate pieces of text (for example, four snippets) and want to paste them all at once, preserving the order in which they were copied (FIFO: first copied → first pasted).

The ideal behavior would include a global hotkey that allows one of the following:

1. Sequential paste: Pressing the hotkey pastes each clipboard item in order, one after another, without bringing the CopyQ UI to the foreground.

2. Concatenate-and-paste: Combine selected or last-N items into a single clipboard entry (preserving order) and paste it with one action.

I am using CopyQ v13.0.0 on Windows. My main goal is a smooth workflow for pasting multiple items efficiently, while respecting their chronological order, via a hotkey.

Could you advise if there is an existing recommended approach, or if this could be considered as a feature in a future release? Any guidance on possible workarounds or scripting approaches would be appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining CopyQ.

Best regards,
Reza
