Cool KDE Plasma trick: [Meta] + [v]

You know how you can use [Ctrl] + [v] to paste in place the last thing you copied to the clipboard, right?

A cool and productive-enhancing variant of that available in #KDE 's #Plasma desktop is that, when copying and pasting a lot of different things, you can hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and hit [v], and a list of all the elements available on the clipboard will pop up so you can choose what to paste next.

@Bro666 @kde Is there a logical explanation why the clipboard history doesn't automatically paste the text into the last cursor position?

On wayland this would be pretty difficult to implement (CopyQ for example does this only on X11). I'm currently working on an enhanced version of the klipboard widget, that should trigger a "fake" paste shortcut after the selection

@tubbadu Thanks for the explanation! I had no clue it'd be related to compositor at all.
