Allow user to add "auto" actions, which will execute automatically on text selection without pop or anything. I use this feature to sync my laptops' clipboard. On text selection a shell script is executed, which copies clipboard content over ssh to another machine. According to next post I'm not the only one who wants this: http://superuser.com/questions/286142/perform-action-when-clipboard-contents-match-regex Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select text 2. Do nothing 3. Profit! Actual Results: Popup menu shows up to select an action to execute. Expected Results: Appropriate action has to be executed without popup menu.
Created attachment 72717 [details] Sample implementation of the feature Here is sample implementation of the requested feature. Basically it checks if there is only one action that has description "<auto>" with only one command. If it's true, then execute this command and return.
Never mind, I switched to synergy for clipboard syncing.
I don't think it should be resolved as invalid because I want this too :) It is very useful to have such kind of auto actions (without any confirmation for specific event). Maybe I'm wrong, but this function was present in KDE 3.5.10.
Reopened based on comment #3.
I'd like to see this implemented too.
It's a cool idea, but given the lack of movement for so long, I think this is unlikely to be implemented unless someone submits a merge request to do it. Accordingly, I'm going to close this request so that the list of requested features better reflects work in progress or under active consideration. This doesn't mean that the idea is being vetoed, just that there aren't resources to consider implementing it absent volunteer contributions to do so--for which no formal feature request is needed. Thanks for understanding!
