Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
Ctrl-Alt-V has always been KDE's default keyboard shortcut to bring up the list of clipboad entries maintained in klipper. It has worked unfailingly in every version of KDE that I have used since roughly KDE 1.x in roughly 1999. A recent problem with Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 has been that I often have to enter Ctrl-Alt-V *_twice_* before the applet comes up. I have not changed the keybinding in Kubuntu Maverick 10.10. The default keybinding of Ctrl-Alt-V is listed as active in | System Settings | Shortcuts and Gestures | Global Keyboard Shortcuts | Klipper . The applet does not come up when I enter the keyboard shortcut. If I mouse-click on the icon in the "system tray," it does come up. However, I prefer to use a mouse as little as possible and always prefer keyboard shortcuts. If I attempt the Ctrl-Alt-V keyboard shortcut while KDE's focus is on a konsole (terminal) session, the string "^[" (an escape character ???) appears on the command line for each press of the shortcut. Background: as a matter of laziness, I use one /home partition and one ~/.kde profile for all versions of kubuntu on my various machines. I sometimes wonder if the one ~/.kde profile is "a bad thing." The Ctrl- Alt-V shortcut works in every other Kubuntu Instance on several machines. With the one reservation listed above on this, my most powerful (and therefore most heavily-used) machine, I have never experienced problems.
