Bug ID: 403077
Summary: [Very simple feature suggestion for] Kinfocenter:
commandline showing the content of the
copy-to-clipboard generated string
Product: kinfocenter
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: All KCMs
Assignee: hubn...@gmail.com
Reporter: sheve...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I would like to extend the commandline options for kinfocenter with one new
entry.
The kinfocenter GUI currently has a click-button called "Copy to Clipboard".
This is quite useful as it allows us to copy that output to e. g. some website,
like
here in the textview/textarea HTML widget. Currently we have to start the
kinfocenter widget for this, though.
I propose a new commandline flag, also shown in --help, that would "dump",
aka show, the very same information that is normally copied via that button
onto the commandline.
The name I suggest would be:
--paste-clipboard
or just
--paste
(or both).
The output would be exactly the same as via the copy-to-clipboard functionality
such as:
Operating System: Slackware 14.2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
Qt Version: 5.12.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
Kernel Version: 4.4.14
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G
Memory: 14.6 GiB of RAM
This should be an easy change because the functionality currently
already exists, assumingly, since the generation of that string
must be tied to the action when a user clicks the button copy-to-clipboard,
which already works as is.
I am not sure if the functionality is wanted by the KDE developers/maintainers
but I think we can already gain that information when we start the GUI as-is;
so
the only change proposed here is to be able to do so from the commandline
alone too, without starting the GUI.
