[Konsole-devel] [Bug 240335] Konsole should update selection on QClipboard::selectionChanged(), like xterm does

--- Comment #17 from Thomas Lübking <thomas.luebking at gmail.com> ---
I think this discussion derives from a fundamentally different sight on CNP

The "traditional" mmb way is rather X11 exclusive and even there the majority
of user will not even know about and stick to common ctrl+c, ctrl+v - therfore
it makes much sense to keep selections until they're explicitly cleared to
permit reusage.

Unfortunately the way to push to the mmb clipboard is usually the same as for
the ctrl+c,v clipboard, so QClipboard::selectionChanged() will fire "too often"
(because it's not predictable what buffer the user has in mind)

What might be a more reliable solution would be a dedicated hint for the
current clipboard content (could be some klipper (shortcut? triggered)
"tooltip" but also some plasmoid or wherever you got place to show it) - this
would implicitly cover all applications (i doubt Qt/KDE has *ever* behaved
differently)
