Description Nik Clayton 2001-08-30 15:27:15 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           klipper
Version:           unknown (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 [FreeBSD] 20010315 (release)
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 4.3-RELEASE
OS/Compiler notes: 

By default klipper does nothing if you select a URL in Konq because Konq is listed in Klipper's list of WM_CLASS's to ignore.

It can be useful to turn this off because many web pages (particularly web logs like Advogato or mail->web gateways) include URLs in the page but don't make them clickable.

Of course if you do that every time you select a URL in Konq's location bar Klipper pops up and has to be dismissed.

It would be nice to be able to discriminate between windows using Klipper in a more fine-grained fashion.

[ Of course this might be a Konq bug...]

I'm not sure how klipper could handle this any more finegrainedly. Do you have an idea?

Otherwise you can simply press the Ctrl-Alt-R shortcut to manually invoke the action-handling
(overriding any WM_CLASS setting).

The easiest way to solve this would be if Konq's URL bar was a different
WM_CLASS.

I just noticed this is not easily possible -- we only get the WM_CLASS of 
the current window not of a specific current widget.

Sorry

I for one won't make this WM_CLASS handling more fine grained. Manually 
invoking actions should be sufficient. If anybody else feels like doing it, go 
ahead. 
Comment 5 newsscott 2003-03-22 23:08:18 UTC
Another nice solution: 
 
Select the URL and just use the middle mouse button while the cursor is somewhere 
within the render area...
