           Summary: Konsole auto copy selection to clipboard to avoid
                    confusion between shortcuts for pasting from clipboard
                    and selection
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: musthafameeran at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I mostly use keyboard shortcuts while using Konsole.

For pasting selection, the shortcut is "Shift+Insert" and for pasting from
clipboard, the default shortcut is "Ctrl+Shift+V".

Many times, there are needs to copy some text from outside konsole and paste it
inside. Also, many a times, there are needs to copy from selection (within
konsole) and paste it within.
So, lot of times, it is confusing between using which shortcut for which type
of copy.

So, it will be really great, if we can combine these two copies to a single
shortcut for Paste, in Konsole alone.

I tried to use "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" option
in Klipper, but that messes the whole thing up, if I need to replace a
selection with the copied text (it again copies the text which is selected to
be replaced).

Could you please help me out in this? Even if combining the clipboard &
selection in Konsole is not made the default behaviour, atleast an option to
combine them both will really help people like me, who often get confused, as
to which shortcut to use to paste the copied stuff.

Thanks a lot...
