It would be great for Klipper to have some of the functionalities / behaviors of the Netbeans Clipboard window. I have created a couple of videos to better explain what I mean. 1. with Netbeans when I select an entry, it is automatically pasted. With Klipper when I select an entry, I must paste it manually (Ctrl + V). I fill this as an extra-step that coul'd be removed... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZbH_rjSfpvr8P7vaJK8E-wnwz7SyceKT/view?usp=sharing 2. with Netbeans I can select an entry selecting his index number (1,2,3,4...) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mkJiQvIGvlzgfJzatKlAhGmXseHL_omh/view?usp=sharing 3.in Netbeans the clipboard window opens where the keyboard caret is, in Klipper the window opens wehre the mouse cursor is, I find this "unexpected". https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XZtjFm-P_NcIfHr0bMIpSIjjzqCQOs10/view?usp=sharing Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 Kernel Version: 5.8.0-59-generic
As a netbeans user I agree with these suggestions! They would be very useful.
Please don't put multiple things in a bug report. 1. with Netbeans when I select an entry, it is automatically pasted. We can't reliably do this on X11. The client requests the clipboard contents. We cannot reliably tell the client to request things. >3.in Netbeans the clipboard window opens where the keyboard caret is, We don't know where the keyboard caret is because it's in another process. --- There is a caveat to all of these. Under wayland, klipper can use the virtual keyboard interface to potentially get this information. This is something we will revisit later.
