And if nothing helps in the menu there is always the hotkey Ctrl+Alt+X which should trigger between activate that menu on every copy or deactivate.
As for the other issue we'll discuss it in the other thread best.
I agree that the Help mentions something about an item in the popup being to deactivate the menu... BUT ... my popups do not contain any such entry. Here's what my popups always contain, in a vertical list:
- Send page
- Open with Firefox
- Send URL
- Open with Mozilla
- Open with Konqueror
In one of my earlier replies to you i said " I have disabled "Actions" completely [per Help's "Actions can be disabled completely by pressing the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+X"] ". It was one of the several things i've already tried that have not helped.
I've now spent many hours studying a multitude of my VMs. Some are Mint 17.3 KDE4, some are Maui that was installed over the top of Mint 17.3 KDE4, & some are "pure" Maui installed into virgin VMs. I'm now pretty confused & tired.
In the Mint VMs, Klipper is an actual pgm appearing in the Applications Menu, & it runs as a service. In the System Tray it appears as "Klipper". When i copy any email or web address, that bloody popup menu appears, & no setting will disable it. These symptoms are exactly what plagued my "real" Mint KDE [ie, on my SSD, the OS which i have replaced within the past week with Maui].
In my "real" Maui, if i kill the Klipper service in System Monitor, then launch Clipboard's [not Klipper's] Configure dialog, go to its Shortcuts section, ALL global shortcuts are blank. If i click on the row for "Enable Clipboard Actions" & attempt to re-enable the default of Ctrl+Alt+X, an error msg pops up saying "This shortcut conflicts with ... shortcut "Ctrl+Alt+X" in Application Klipper for action Enable Clipboard Actions". The really truly insane stupid ironic thing is, though, that according to my Maui's Application Menu, there is NO such pgm called "Klipper". Conversely, when i launch KRunner & search for Klipper, it gives me an option to "Run klipper", & if i do, the service reappears in System Monitor.
In the VMs which used to be Mint KDE, & now are Maui via install into root over the top of Mint, "Klipper" is not in the Menu, it doesn't run as a service, & in the System Tray it appears as "Clipboard" not "Klipper". If i launch KRunner & type klipper, it gives me an option to "Run klipper", & if i do, the service then appears in System Monitor. Either way however, copying web & email addresses do NOT generate the popup -- this is the behaviour i want in my "real" Maui. This seems to be totally contradictory to my "real" Maui, which i also installed over Mint.
In the VMs that are "pure" Maui, there is no such thing as "Klipper"; it's not in the Menu, it doesn't run as a service, & in the System Tray it appears as "Clipboard". In these VMs, copying any email or web address does NOT generate the popup -- there is NO annoying popup -- this is the behaviour i want in my "real" Maui. Although their KRunners do also offer me the chance to Run Klipper, if i click it, NO entry appears in System Monitor.
This is utterly confusing, & at the moment i have no idea how to solve it (i was never able to solve it in Mint KDE4, & this is a disappointing start to Maui that the problem has somehow carried over, still currently unsolvable). I still fear however that this problem might be a hangover of not having formatted my /home when i installed Maui, & so maybe some old KDE4 Klipper config file hiding away there is confusing Maui's "Clipboard" [which seems to be the Plasma5 replacement of KDE4's Klipper]. If i have to reinstall Maui all over again, just to fix this silly misbehaviour, that would be pretty terrible [given all the large amount of customisations i've been doing over the past week].
