Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.

    Windows and KDE Plasma both have CMD + V to show a list of all things that have been copied. So I always just do Ctrl + C, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, CMD + V -> down arrow -> enter. Though on KDE Plasma you will need another Ctrl + V to actually do the pasting after you have selected the value to paste, whereas on Windows selecting the value also pastes it. But the workflows are very similar.

      Huh, I do not have CMD + V for clipboard contents in Plasma with Klipper. What distro is configuring that?

      I am assuming by CMD you mean Superkey. If not, I would like to know. I looked at Klipper shortcuts and didnt find it in there either.

        By CMD, I mean the windows key. I am using Opensuse Tumbleweed. I thought I was just using the default clipboard, but I guess I’m not 100% sure.

          I will give it a look an check it out. Been awhile since I used Suse. Totally cool. Oh and I meant the windows key. A lot of Linux folks call it the super key.

            I guess I was using the Mac term for it. I use all three heavily, so they all get mixed up on my head.

          Well I guess it is configured that way on my EndeavorOS laptop, so I wonder what I need to do to enable it. My desktop has been rolling for 4 years, maybe they added that at some point along the way.
