Are there circumstances where EV will follow a URL when using #clipboard: ?#clipboard: is VERY useful. Great for leaving EV open but not the foreground app and then just copying the relevant text for searching.
I was wondering why EV was seeming slow at times, and it appears it was following URLs that were on the clipboard? But I can't seem to repeat it. I had an EV window open with #clipboard: on it, and was using it for some text, and then switched to doing other work that involved copying some URLs. When I tried searching for something else in a different EV window it wasn't responding. I happened to notice the other EV window, the one with #clipboard in it, and using an 'Everything' filter, had a ton of results in it and they looked to be from one of the web URLs I'd clipped before.
I know there are some situations where the Windows file dialog will take a URL as a 'filename' and download it. I'm wondering it that happened here?
Though now when I try to repeat it I can't get the same thing to happen.
