Review of freshly installed Fedora 38 KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE GUI)

SCREENSHOT 241) 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 245) 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 246) Trigger actions on a clipboard selection.

Regular expressions are supported.
