Action Menu

Show action popup menu

Set the time that a popup menu will remain for if you do nothing with it.

Replay actions on an item selected from history

If this is switched on, selecting an item from the history causes Klipper to display the actions pop-up on that item, if appropriate.

Exclude Windows

Brings up the Disable Actions for windows of type WM_CLASS dialog.

Some programs, such as Konqueror, use the clipboard internally. If you get unwanted Klipper pop-ups all the time when using a certain application, do the following:

  1. Open the application.

  2. From a terminal, run xprop | grep WM_CLASS and then click on the window of the application you are running.

  3. The first string after the equals sign is the one to enter.

Once the WM_CLASS is added, no more actions will be generated for windows of that application.

Remove white space when executing actions

If selected, any white space (spaces, tabs, etc.) at the beginning and end of the clipboard contents will be removed before passing the clipboard contents to an application. This is useful, for example, if the clipboard contains a URL with spaces which, if opened by a web browser, would cause an error.

Include MIME actions

If selected, include applications that can accept its MIME type of a file name or URL selected in the popup menu.
