Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux While the C+A+V key combination is very handy, I always have to reach for the mouse to quickly select an item from my very long clipboard history. I suggest that the history items be indexed by number. e.g 0 for first item, 1 for second item and so on. So C+A+V, followed by 5 will select history item at index 5. e.g. __klipper_menu__ [00] hello world [01] world champ [02] kung foo.. [03] foo bar.. ----------------- ................. __klipper_menu__ -Pandu
Does the new search capabilities solve this? (It has only been in CVS for a few hours).
Even in Klipper in 9.7, the only way to select something from the list is to ctrl+alt+v and use the down arrow key.
You can just type some text to filter the list. With the shorter list you have quicker access to what you want by cursor-down. IMHO this is more handy than a numbering before each entry.
hi, it's just me or ctrl+alt+v doesn't work anymore after upgrading to kde 4.5.1?
sorry, i had to post on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244620 i didn't find it cause it was wrongly closed...
As there was no response since my comment #3 I think, this bug can be closed with "wont fix", can't it? Even if someone is willing to implement this, it would conflict with the current way of filtering the list by typing some text. As you can set the klipper history to more than 100 entries you had to use three numbers to identify a row. Also you do not see the numbers for the next pages than the first. So IMHO this idea of numbering the entries is conceptual problematic. What do you think?
Well, I would suggest not to implement this feature because it is basically in conflict with existing searching feature and does not scale well. However, it is really handy when you imagine it. So I think maybe we can make a comprise. Maybe we can only provide the index for the first nine(or five) items, and pressing Alt+[1-9] will select the corresponding item. That would make it a nice complement of the searching feature. The down side is it will cause some visual inconsistency since only the first items have index. Whatever, the existing searching feature should not be influenced.
I would love this feature. For me, in most cases, I am looking for something within top 5 - something I recently copied. I rarely go more than 10 items in the list, and having the number shortcut would be great.
I think the search functionality is a good enough solution for this.
