Rename and the secondary clipboard irritation

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Fedora 32, x64
Xfce 4.14
krusader-2.7.2-2.fc32.x86_64

Now this is an irritating feature of Krusader.

When I am programming, I will go into Krusader to
get the file name of some file. (I could type
it in manually, but I typo like crazy.) I go
into rename and copy the name into the
secondary clipboard (<ctrl><c>).

Now here is the irritation. If I close
the rename dialog, the file name get removed
from the clipboard and I paste the thing right
before it.

Would the developers consider fixing this please?

Many thanks,
-T

What's the secondary clipboard? I'm on OpenSUSE and there is only one clipboard when I use <Ctrl><C> even if I'm using "CopyQ" application.

Hi Todd,

I will test it on a WM, meanwhile, can you test with the Location Bar?
It also has a QLineEdit, you can activate with CTRL+L (default), copy the text
and exit with Return or Esc. Does the copied text is present in the clipboard.

Whit a rapid search on the web I've seen this is a problem related to clipboard
managers (I use Klipper an this not happens).

Thanks

I've tried it under Kubuntu 20.04 (having Klipper being executed) and the problem didn't happen (F2, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V worked as it was expected).

Hi Rafael,

Linux has four clipboards. This video will
help describe them

http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~chl/Secondary-Selection.mp4

The two most common are:
PrimaryClipboard:
Mouse over, Center click
and
SecondaryClipboard:
<ctrl><c>, <ctrl><v>

man xclip
-selection
specify which X selection to use, options
are "primary" to use XA_PRIMARY (default),
"secondary" for XA_SECONDARY or "clip‐
board" for XA_CLIPBOARD

I use the primary clipboard like crazy.

I only have a problem after I close the rename dialog.

Yes, it is present in the secondary clipboard and I can
paste it anywhere

I am primarily in Geany (where I program) when this
happens. And it is not 100% repeatable. I mainly
happens when it will be the most annoying.It is like it is conspiring
against me.

I don't know why I didn't see your video link before. Now that I realized your explanation, I understand what you were talking about.

I'm a Plasma user and usually write with Kate. Kate doesn't have that (useful) function. I think that function is available only on gedit or Gnome environment. That's why I was not able to interpret your question.

Thank you for your explanation and I'm sorry can't help cause not an Gnome/Gedit user.
