Description Piotr Budny 2015-03-14 20:53:33 UTC
Klipper shows menu in mouse position by using keyboard shortcut very rarely

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set klipper shortcut, e.g. ctrl+alt+v
2. press ctrl+alt+v

Actual Results:  
klipper content menu does not show

Expected Results:  
klipper menu containing copied items shows always

there should be shortcut to show klipper menu not in mouse place, also like in kde4.
Using Kubuntu Vivid Beta 1
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2015-03-15 09:11:57 UTC
This works for me. 

* Did you upgrade from a previous version? 
* Do you still have a klipper process running?
* How did you configure the shortcut?
Comment 2 Piotr Budny 2015-03-15 15:33:10 UTC
Yes, It is an upgrade from 14.10.
16:23 [vip:~]$ pgrep klipper is empty

Shortcut is set from system settings.

And oh, I see your point probably. There is also "old" klipper binary, which can be run.
But it comes from plasma-workspace package.

I'll try to test for a running process when shortcut will not work, and report.

> Shortcut is set from system settings.

Can you please describe better the steps used here.
Comment 4 Piotr Budny 2015-03-17 13:21:27 UTC
Ok, happened for me now.

Alt+f2, settings, Shortcuts, "Global keyboard shortcuts" module, from combo list: KDE component: plasmashell
Entry: Open Klipper in mouse cursor position, value: Ctrl+Alt+V

I do not have English language desktop, hope the translation looks ok.
Comment 5 Justin Zobel 2020-11-21 12:12:32 UTC
I believe this is an issue with the Ctrl Alt modifiers. When using those the shortcut shows as broken characters.

When I set Ctrl Shift B the menu opens reliably at the mouse cursor every time.

Can you please test the alternate and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks.
