Description John Hobbs 2007-07-30 23:14:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It would be really handy if you had an item on the menu that would strip all the formatting from a chunk of copied text and let it be pasted plain.

Please tell us which applications you are copying from, as Klipper only supports copying with any sort of format from a few select applications.

I was copying from Firefox into OpenOffice.org Writer.  I didn't try it anywhere else, just assumed it was universal.

I that case, you can actually get what you want by selecting the top entry from the clipboard history. But frankly, I really don't want to pollute the Klipper interface with the gazillion suggestions for manipulation, so I am deeming you suggestion out of scope for now. Not that it would be very easy to write a script which did what you ask, and bind it to a key; check out the dbus interface for klipper.
