Listmates, I don't know if this is possible currently, but if it isn't, it should be. One of the areas where kde is light-years ahead is with the copy/paste convenience provided by the dual clipboard/selection buffers that klipper offers. However many, many times I have selected something that I will want to paste only to find I have to select something else to clear a text-box like the google search box or firefox address bar. This requires that you either click into the text-box hit 'end' and 'backspace' over all the existing text you need to clear (PITA with very long URLs) or I just resolve to select/delete/reselect/paste -- wasted effort. Yes I know I could actually 'copy' the information to the clipboard buffer and that the next selection into the 'selection' buffer does not alter the copy buffer (I do that when I know a select/delete is needed), but I'm talking about all the times you select something for a quick paste only to then find out another select/delete will be needed after you shuffle through the open windows to get where you needed to paste the information. There should be a way to ctrl+select or meta+select that would allow you to select what you need to delete without disturbing the text in the selection buffer. Does something like that already exist? If not, can somebody think of a way to set that up in kde or X in general? This is something that a really smart kde developer could seize upon and slip into the next kde update and have added a feature that goes down in convenience/efficiency history ;-) I'll open a feature request if it doesn't already exist. -- David C.
