Hello, 

I have been struggling to integrate the CopyQ clipboard manager into my configuration, because its main window cannot be closed: killing the window has no effect, and in the context of a scratchpad, the toggle does not work (the window appears but does not disappear).
Minimizing the window does work; but then, it can only be maximized from the same workspace, which is not ideal for this use case.

I have come up with a so-so solution: summon the window from a named scratchpad, and get rid of it by sending it to a NSP workspace:

("M-a",                     shiftTo Next (WSIs nsp))

...

where nsp = return $ ("NSP" ==) . W.tag

But it is cumbersome to have to manipulate two distinct keybindings (plus the latter might send an innocent window into a void).

Is there an obvious solution that I am missing?

PS: to be clear, I am only speaking about the window displayed by the CopyQ command `copyq toggle` (or `copyq show`). The smaller floating window displayed by the CopyQ command `copyq menu` does not have this issue; but is is also limited in functionalities and history length.

PPS: I guess an improvement would be to integrate the above `shiftTo` function into a custom kill function, which would have two cases, depending of the name of the window. I do not know how to write this however, and would appreciate any pointers or suggestions.

Thank you for attention.
