Description Oliver Sõro 2006-10-12 08:13:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

For example atm if a user cuts/copies several pieces of different texts into klipper to reuse them later it is very inconvienient to paste these pieces of text back. Before each paste the user has to mark from the klipper history what piece he/she wants.

So I had an idea, would it be possible to add registers to klipper, similar to VIM.
Then for example cutting/coping different pieces of text a user could to Ctrl+X+A (cut into register A) or Ctrl+C+B (copy into register B) and later the user could paste the pieces by pressing Ctrl+P+A and Ctrl+P+B.

This would make cut/copy/paste better for KDE's editors, but also for many other tiny tasks and help to juggle bits of information between different applications more easily.

This is what the history popup is for (now bound to Meta+V as of Plasma 5.22). It's quite fast once you get used to it.
