How to insert some characters between items after activating them?

[pqnhan]

I often use Copyq to select pieces of text that I likes and then combine them into an article.
However sometimes I want to insert bullets into some of the items or add a page divider between them.
Is there a convenient way to do that?

Sorry if the question is silly as I am new to Copyq.

If I understand it correctly, then what you're asking sounds outside the scope of copyq - in the end of the day it's not a text editor.
Edit: although a configuration item like multi_item_paste_separator could plausibly be simple enough.
Sounds like a rather extreme corner case though.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's doable via scripting though.

It is quite simple assuming you have some obvious way of detecting where you want to split the text up, I have created a simplistic example to get you started (googles should include "javascript"):

copyq:

//--- Very simplistic example ---
var ClipboardText = str( clipboard() )                 //Sample text: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 
var SplitUp             = ClipboardText.split(',')       //\t = TAB
var NewText          = SplitUp.join('\n')

//--- NewText ----
copy(NewText)
paste()

I have also attached it as a command file (zipped) you can import set up to use the hotkey: ctrl+alt+f1
