Description Alexander Zaitsev 2016-06-19 18:11:11 UTC

there will be good enough to have chain mode in klipper.
Say we have to copy 10 entries from one place to other. We copy source lines one by one, selecting and copying its.
Item1 - select, copy
item2 - select, copy,
...
item X - select, copy.

Then, we just paste the content by pressing Ctrl+V, and Klipper paste item1 on first press Ctrl+V, then Item2, Item3, ItemX.
Every Ctrl+C starts new chain, so if you need to copy only element, you will not see the changes it will copy and paste the element.

It will allow to simplify operations in Excel or similar programs.

Reproducible: Always

From klipper's side this is not implementable. Klipper doesn't know when Ctrl+V is performed in another application and thus cannot know when to update the clipboard.

It's possible to set a global shortcut to move to next clipboard item. With that you can define your manual chain. Given that I set this feature request to worksforme.
