When Activate Clipboard History Switcher and Paste by Name not all characters are visible (hidden).
So is it possible to show hidden characters in clipboard?

If you enter Unicode letter or symbol characters into a plain text editor and then copy them all, then they should appear in the clipboard (try pasting) and you should then see them in the clipboard history.

If you enter characters that are not normally visible, then the plain text editor might substitute a code (e.g. U+2002 En Space might be represented by 0x2022) but it may well not be appropriate or possible for them to appear in the clipboard history.

If this does not answer your question, please give examples of some of the characters that you have in mind.

After some experimenting the problem only occurs in Apple notes. And then with an external link to for example LCFF-B7T. It then says Lā—ā—ā—ā—

Something thinks you have a password, and is masking it.

It doesn't happen for that link with KM and Notes for me, but I may not be doing it right. Can you post a macro that reproduces the problem so we can see what's happening?

You could also try turning off "Detect (and Conceal) Possible Passwords" in KM's Settings (not recommended if your machine is in a shared space) or adjust the regexs KM uses in password detection (see the "Preferences Set by Command Line" section of the manual).

Thx that was the solution. And I only use this computer so that's not a problem
