--- Comment #4 from Mike <mike.p...@gmail.com> ---
I would like to see this request revisited. 

With the popularity of password managers and the increasing use of pseudorandom
strings as identifiers for things like crypto wallets, the clipboard is
increasingly used to hold highly sensitive information. This has also been a
lure for malicious actors. And while the overwhelming majority, of those
malicious actors target Windows users, I would prefer we not become victims of
our own hubris :)

Currently I manage this with a script that runs from .config/autostart and
checks org.kde.klipper.klipper.getClipboardContents once per minute. Then, when
extant data in the clipboard is unchanged for >10 minutes, it runs
clearClipboardHistory.

A more perfect (for me) solution would watch for clipboard activity (copy AND
paste), then clear the contents if there is no activity for x seconds.

Seeing a check box for "Automatically clear clipboard history when inactive?"
and a box to specify how many seconds after the last copy/paste action to wait
near 'Clipboard history' in the Klipper configuration applet seems to make
perfect sense. :)
