To view or change Klipper's settings, bring up the Klipper popup menu, and select "Configuration". The Klipper Configuration Dialog will appear. Its contents are described below.
Make the Klipper popup menus appear at the position of the mouse cursor, instead of their default positions of in the KDE Panel. Useful if you use the mouse more than the keyboard.
Makes Klipper keep the contents of the clipboard history on exit, and restore them next time it is run.
On the 'Actions' tab, click the regular expression or action that you want to edit. A small box will appear in which the text can be edited as you wish. Make sure you press Enter when you are done.
Click the "Add Action" button to add a regular expression for Klipper to match. Klipper uses Qt's QRegExp, which understands most regular expressions as you would use in grep or egrep for instance. Edit the regular expression as described above. To add a command to execute, right click, select "Add Command" and edit the command which appears in the tree under the regular expression.
Note that %s in the command line is replaced with the clipboard contents, e.g. if your command definition is "kedit %s" and your clipboard contents are "/home/phil/textfile", the command "kedit /home/phil/textfile" will be run. To include "%s" in the command line, escape it with a backslash, as so: "\%s".
The shortcuts tab allows you to change the keyboard shortcuts which are used to access Klipper functions. You can change the shortcut to one of three things:
The selected action cannot be accessed directly from the keyboard
The selected action uses Klipper's default key. These are the shortcuts referred to in this manual.
The selected action is assigned to the keys you choose.
To choose a custom key for the action you have selected, click on the representation of a key in the lower right of the screen to activate it, and type the desired key on your keyboard. Your chosen key may be optionally be combined with one or more of the SHIFT, CTRL, or ALT shift keys, by activatingthe corresponding option.
