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.

    Well… the clipboard manager is still necessary 😬 , except you don’t have to go looking for it in the system tray or wherever you put it*.

    And you can do everything without lifting your fingers off the keyboard!

      I use clipman in Xfce and bind a keyboard shortcut to popup the menu (my case Ctrl+alt+k).

      Recently I add CB (the clipboard project) to my tools to management clipboard.
