Bug ID: 498715
Summary: Enable saving of selection even when synchronization
is disabled
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Clipboard widget & pop-up
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: cspie...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
I'm requesting that "Always save in history" be enabled unconditionally, i.e.
regardless of whether "Keep the selection and clipboard the same" is checked.
I use PRIMARY, I'd say, around 80% of the time I'm copying/pasting. As such, it
is extraordinarily helpful for me to keep a history of it, because it's my main
way of dealing with selections. History is especially useful for PRIMARY since
it's so easy to accidentally select another piece of text, wiping out your
previous selection.
At the same time, I want PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD to be separate: when I
explicitly copy something, I don't expect a selection later on to overwrite it.
In short, I want my PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD to remain independent (as they
normally are in the absence of a clipboard manager), but have Klipper store
both of them when a new selection is made.
I'm 99% sure this is a regression (from my perspective), and that Klipper used
to operate this way. A few years ago it stopped working as it used to, but I
didn't get around to filing a report till now. For reference, this is also how
Klipper works in TDE which, although I haven't checked, I imagine hasn't
changed much since the KDE3 days.
