Troubleshooting

Clipboard Copy Doesn’t Work

  1. Verify terminal OSC 52 support.
  2. If using tmux, set:
    • set -g set-clipboard on
  3. Install fallback clipboard tools (xclip/xsel/pbcopy) where needed.

y Copies Full Body Instead of Selection

In rendered Markdown view, some terminal/context combinations do not expose selection state to Textual. In that case, y intentionally falls back to full idea-body copy.

App Starts But No Ideas Appear

  • Create a new idea with n.
  • Ensure search is cleared (/, clear text, Esc).

Database Path and Local State

Cogitus uses a local SQLite database and local config state. If behavior seems unexpected after testing, verify you are running with the intended user/profile and local filesystem context.
