feture: Paste on selection

Open mpetuska opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

It would be great if I could configure the extension not only make clipboard history item active on selection, but also to immediately paste it (to avoid an extra CTRL+V)

It is on my backlog :)

Awesome. https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/gnome-clipboard-history has implemented that already if you're looking for inspiration.

Yeah, it makes sense. An option to enable such behaviour would be great.

Sorry, but I have a question on this topic. For the love of God, I can't find out how this is supposed to work? I make a selection, the selected text gets copied to the clipboard and then what? How and where is it pasted with this function on? I can't get it to work. Thanks to anyone who can explain this function to me and makes my life a little easier :-)

@MrMiracles I had the same question, found this issue and in the end figured out myself by looking at the code.

I was first confused by the word "select" because I associated it with selecting the text with the mouse. However, what is meant here by "select" is picking an entry in the clipboard manager. If you do that, Pano will automatically press Ctrl+V for you.

So for example, if you're in a text field, open the clipboard manager and click on a text entry, the text will be pasted in that text field.
