I'll be doing a UI reengineering in the future, and I'll keep your suggestion in mind :) The current way with identical behaviour for left and right button does seem a wee bit strange, and inconsistent with the reset of the systray apps.

1.) Thanks for your work. Without this engagement like yours Linux will not grow. So I'm very gratefully that you do something!

2.) I come from the 'windows(xp)-part-of-this-world' and I change to Linux some weeks ago. KDE and the other OpenSource applications are very mighty. I know a commercial / ShareWare tool for the clipboard in Windows called 'ClipMate' from Thornsoft (http://www.thornsoft.com/). I don't want to compair this tool with Klipper but this inspire me to send you my note.

3.) I can give you my idea as like an user (more detailed like my first mail):

I wish when I click with the left mouse button to see the complete list and maybe at the end of the list the possibility to clear this list.

When I click with the right button the entries are not so important. This is more to get infos (the 'about' box ..) and set some preferences direct and also the configuration entry to open the dialog to configure Klipper.

4.) Maybe you get now an idea want I want. I saw you do an entry in the 'to do' list for your project. This is what is great in the complete Linux project: every user can say what he need! Very nice!

Status is that I got caught up with real life, and have yet to return my attention to Klipper. Sorry :/

Any progress on this feature? it sounds just like somethign i was going to file a wishlist request on. bassically i use "clipit" in xfce and it has a good "manage history" option where by I can select the items in the history and "remove" them or "remove all". Please  help make klipper more mature.

There is not so much around this bug/wish. Isn't the development about klipper active anymore?
What happens there?

@Christoph: Please have a look: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/109828/

This bug is still an issue in Klipper v0.9.7 from KDE v4.13.3.

this seems to be finally solved in kde5 - unlikely to be worked on by anybody in kde4, thus i'd suggest closing this report

I will chech this when I decide to upgrade to KDE 5.
Stay tuned. Thanks a lot!

I'm marking this bug as resolved as the desired behaviour (show the list of available elements with a left click, a list of options with a right click) is the current behaviour in Plasma 5 and has been for a long time.

MR started to split the menu when using the classic Klipper (as opposed to the Plasma applet) at
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2174

18 years later:

Hi! 
Thanks for fixing this bug in a handy way! Now the leftover Klipper is working as it should. That's nice.
I really appreciate how open source in general is working....

Git commit b906f72d2a0d14a8081ba7bf9420441930412018 by Jonathan Marten.

Pushed by marten into branch 'master'.

Klipper: Split the system tray menu between items and context menu

As suggested a long time ago in the referenced bug and duplicates,
but never implemented for the traditional Klipper.  Makes the
system tray popup smaller, especially if the user has configured
a large number of history entries, and makes the traditional Klipper
work in the same way as the Plasma applet:  left click = history items,
right click = context menu.

Add icons to some actions  
Change text for action "show-on-mouse-pos" to reflect what it now does  
Change "KDE" -> "Plasma" in about text  
Eliminate redundant member variable KlipperPopup::m_nHistoryItems
