Description Ismael Asensio 2022-03-20 22:42:47 UTC 
SUMMARY

The shortcut to run a search on clipboard content (default is Alt+Shift+F2) does not work on wayland.

KRunner is invoked, but the search text does not use the clipboard content as expected, but the most recent search in history. This is specially useful when also using "selection" in the clipboard, so that selecting some text and pressing the shortcut would launch a search using that selection.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy some text to the clipboard
2. Launch the KRunner's "Execute clipboard content" shortcut [default Alt+Shift+F2]

OBSERVED RESULT
- KRunner shows the previous search text in history, same as when using the regular shortcut

EXPECTED RESULT
- KRunner uses the clipboard text as the search text

krunner: Fix query with clipboard contents on Wayland

On Wayland we cannot retrieve the clipboard contents unless we get the focus,
so let's just delay the request until we get it.
