Description Corentin Girard 2021-08-08 08:18:53 UTC

This is a follow up of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439174

I use the klipper popup **at mouse position** and the arrows to navigate through the entries of the history.

Currently, this is not possible to press the Delete key to remove an entry from the history. Although we can do it from the tray popup.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.13.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5

I'll do my best! :)

Would really like this but there is a workaround. You can bring up the tray version with the same shortcut, whose keyboard navigation is essentially the same but the delete key works as desired thanks to the change in the previous bug. It also shows as one contiguous list unlike the contextual one that requires you to select the `...` dummy item to see the next page of items.

Open the Configure System Tray dialogue, select the Entries tab, scroll down to Clipboard and and click its shortcut button to reassign Meta + V (or whatever) to that.

This should work now that the popup and plasmoid use the same code - in my testing with master, it worked on both arrow-key and mouse-selected items.

If it does not work for you, please reopen.
