Been using every release of KDE since 2.x. Since the new clipboard in the systray was introduced, assigning a shortcut to "Edit Contents.." and then trying to trigger it fails silently. OTOH, assigning a shortcut to 'Open Klipper at mouse position' and using it works fine (funny how 'Klipper' is still mentioned, despite klipper being a separate program as far as I'm aware).
Git commit dd10d605c3d0aa2f59bcda3eb2312b474eac4a84 by David Edmundson. Committed on 13/01/2017 at 15:24. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'Plasma/5.9'. Enable Edit Action in plasmoid mode Summary: EditAction is a keyboard activated shortcut that shows a dialog, there's no reason for it to be available in standalone mode only, especially given the option to enable the shortcut is available from the plasmoid. Test Plan: Set shortcut. Pressed it. Got a dialog with my clipboard contents Standalone mode should be unchanged as it was showing it already.

Wow, I literally waited YEARS hoping that every release would bring a fix, even removing the plasmoid en starting klipper.. then removing the plasmoid again with each apt-get upgrade. Many, many thanks. If I can drop a donation anywhere, let me know.
Bugzilla can be hit and miss. Glad to help, thanks for reporting: Donations here. https://www.kde.org/community/donations/
