As an alternative to my initial idea of accumulating copied items at copy time,
a “Collective Paste Mode” could be introduced in Klipper to achieve a similar
end result.

In this mode, users would first activate Collective Paste Mode via a keyboard
shortcut or a UI toggle. Once enabled, they could copy multiple items as usual
using Ctrl+C. Klipper would automatically flag and group these copied entries
as part of the current session.

When ready, the user could simply paste, and all copied items from that session
would be inserted together as a single block; separated by spaces, line breaks,
or a user-defined delimiter. This eliminates the need to manually select or
combine entries afterward.

I hope, this approach keeps the feature entirely within KDE’s control and
avoids relying on how external applications handle copy operations.
