Michael, I don't know the current state of KDE applications, but at least on Debian Stable, there's a plasma applet called 'paste' that lets you paste snippets. It provides a few builtin macro expansions for stuff like
%{date()} %{exec(netstat -plant)} %{file(file:///etc/motd)} %{password(16, true, true, true, true)} %{time()} Note: doesn't appear that 'date()/time()' takes an argument (e.g. %{date(yesterday)}, just returns current, but as long as you have exec() you can do anything. If you click a snippet, it inserts into the clipboard, then you can paste, You have to double-click to auto-paste. You could leverage the klipper Actions to do something similar, though it would be a bit more "hackish". Setup a regular expression like @K -- If you type, then double click that, and have automatic enabled (or, alternatively, if you use <CTRL><ALTR><R> to invoke manual klipper actions popupmenu), you would have a popup menu with all your commands that could be things like: Command=echo FLIMFLAM Output Handling=Replace Clipboard (organize as many commands that echo what you want under a single klipper action) then you'd just have to paste. I don't see a way in klipper to auto-paste Also, you can use 'khotkeys' to create a global shortcut that performs keyboard input. (but you'd likely run out of keyboard combos, or forget them.) also, i think khotkeys was destined for deprecation? probably many other solutions. (i recall a very simple Xt X11 application from many years ago that did similar things) --stephen On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 2:15 PM, Michael Fierro <biffs...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a feature request for Klipper: snippets!
