Bug ID: 427214
Summary: Add ability to paste contents on selection
Product: klipper
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: maximts...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently user has to perform two operations in most use cases - select the
item, and then press CTRL+V (or any other 'paste' command). Will be nice to
have an option to simplify it, so that selected clipboard item will be
immediately pasted to focused field.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Klipper
2. Select any item with mouse or keyboard arrows + ENTER
OBSERVED RESULT
Klipper closes, and user has to perform another 'paste' operation to make use
of selected contents
EXPECTED RESULT
There must be option in settings, which will automatically paste the item on
selection
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon: 5.19
Plasma: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks: 5.74.0
Qt version: 5.15.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In a similar request on reddit.com it was mentioned that implementing 'paste on
selection' in Klipper is not possible, since it doesn't have control over
window which needs contents.
But I think of a workaround, which is - make Klipper just programmatically
trigger system's 'paste' command on selection - or at least, the default
'CTRL+V' hotkey. This way application doesn't need to have any control over
window or it's elements.
