<p>But you can clear klipper's history. As you point out yourself "klipper provides that in the UI." From our POV what does it matter if that's exposed via a button here, or elsewhere. The fact that you could have malware doesn't remove the legit reasons to talk to the clipboard manager you're running.</p>
<p>I have no idea how Sweeper presents their call to us in their UI - and I don't really care. If they make some outrageous claim about removing any blocking all clipboard loggers, that's clearly on them.</p>
<p>But clearing isn't the only thing in that interface - for me it's about KPasteTextAction in KConfigWidgets, which replaces the regular paste action with a menu of entries and stuff.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R120 Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D7536" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D7536</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>davidedmundson, Plasma<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>graesslin, heikobecker, broulik, plasma-devel, ZrenBot, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart, lukas<br /></div>
