Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) OS: Linux If I press Ctrl-Alt-V, the klipper window should appear right where I want it, under the mouse-pointer. This used to be the PopupAtMousePosition option. However, this doesn't work any more (and the option is no longer present in the Klipper configuration). This is particularly irritating on a large screen: the klipper window is 3200 pixels away from where I expect to find it! Reproducible: Always
In "system tray settings > 2. group" you can add a shortcut, but klipper doesn't popup at mouse position as the action menu does. Having both options could be a wish, right ? - mark (*) in firefox "https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi" > klipper > call actions manually --> action menu doesn't pop up at mouse position (*) - mark (*) in kwrite "https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi" --> action menu does pop up already at mouse position (*).
This is definitely a regression since 4.3. - In KDE 3.5, there was an option checkbox for whether to popup at mouse position or not (and it worked either way). - In KDE 4.3, the option checkbox had been removed, but the default behaviour is correct (pop up next to mouse) - In KDE 4.5 it's now broken. Sorry I can't give a more specific marker for the regression point.
Still broken in 4.5.2
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
Still broken in 4.6.1, as installed on Ubuntu 10.10 from ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports I changed the keyboard shortcut key from the default and that didn't help. The pop-up window still refuses to pop up, either with the default setting, Ctrl-Alt-V, or a custom one, Ctrl-Alt-B. (By the way, I agree with bug # 259539, moving the klipper pop-up shortcut key setting from the klipper config into System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> Klipper is obscure to the point of uselessness.)
Still broken in 4.6.3, I'm afraid. At least there is a workaround: run the program "parcellite", which is an almost exact replacement, and works perfectly.

One issue though, a custom shortcut (ctrl+alt+v) seems not to stick over sessions.
(In reply to comment #9) > One issue though, a custom shortcut (ctrl+alt+v) seems not to stick over > sessions. If you are talking about this re-added global shortcut instead of the global shortcut provided by systray, I think that issue has been fixed recently. So wait for next RC to check it again.
