Many users don't feel comfortable having a program in the background saving their clipboard content. There were many forum posts asking for a way to uninstall or completely disable Klipper. E.g: this [post](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032985/remove-klipper-from-kubuntu) says: > "Klipper" is part of the plasma-workspace package and cannot be uninstalled without removing all of KDE. The current way to disable Klipper is through `System Tray settings > General > Extra Items`, but even with that, `pgrep klipper` shows that Klipper still runs in the background. Second problem is user needs to switch to Plasma session just to disable it.
Surely you're asking for it to not exist as a standalone application, that's what you're seeing in your pgrep. In either case, we are not making such a change based on this reasoning.

It's a standalone application in the sense that's it's a separate binary, but not in the sense that it's separate from Plasma shell. It comes as a package, and it cannot be uninstalled without removing other components. > In either case, we are not making such a change based on this reasoning. Then at least provide a way to completely disable Klipper.
