SCREENSHOT 246) Clipboard Contents is managed by the KDE Klipper application.

There is an icon bottom left next to the clock. Klipper offers rich entry history and functionalities.

SCREENSHOT 247) The clipboard shows the previous entries.

Click on the entry to become the current clipboard selection. Next to each entry, there are buttons – Invoke action, Show QR Code, Edit contents and Remove from history. Click on “Show QR Code” to generate the QR Code representing the current entry in the clipboard history. In this case, the QR Code will represent a text and a smartphone or QR reader will scan it and then translate it into text on the device. Bear in mind, the text should not be too big to generate a QR Code.

SCREENSHOT 248) Show the QR Code representation of the clipboard entry, which is the URL.

SCREENSHOT 249) Click on “Show QR Code” next to the text entry to generate a QR code representation of the clipboard text entry.

SCREENSHOT 250) The QR code representation of the text.

SCREENSHOT 251) General Configuration tunes the behavior of the Klipper application such as how many entries should say in the history list, ignore selection (if unchecked every user selection of text automatically goes to the clipboard, which may be very convenient!), and more.

SCREENSHOT 252) Trigger actions on a clipboard selection.

Regular expressions are supported.

SCREENSHOT 253) An action executes when there is a match pattern in the clipboard contents.

So if the user wants something to happen when something is copied in the clipboard, this functionality is great for it!

SCREENSHOT 254) Trigger Clipboard with keyboard shortcuts.

SCREENSHOT 255) Brief software and hardware information.
