Shortcut to toggle compact view

[stenci]

The settings under Preferences - Items - Text - Maximum height in pixels, Preferences - Items - Images - Maximum Image Height, and similar options allow adjusting the number of visible items in the list. This works well, but the changes are permanent.

I’d like the ability to quickly toggle between two display modes:

• Full view: shows the complete content of each clipboard item — ideal for reviewing recent clips.
• Compact view: displays one item per line — useful for searching or navigating older history.

Ideally, this would be controlled via a button and optional shortcut in the main window to switch between Compact and Full modes on the fly.

This can be done by adding the following command (here is how to add the command to CopyQ):

[Command]
Command="
    copyq:
    toggleConfig('show_simple_items')"
Icon=
InMenu=true
Name=Toggle Simple Items
Shortcut=f8

With the above, F8 shortcut (or from menu/toolbar) toggles the single line items.

Thank you, that did the job beautifully!

And I like the Paste Commands button. I've never seen anything like that, I was expecting to edit a configuration file, ...

This is much better!

I am using the new toggle shortcut and I love it, but I do miss a textual description of non textual clips, as described here: #3007

The snapshot below doesn't help much, while having the name of the application or the document or some other metadata on every clip would give some context:
