Click the button
to add a regular expression for Klipper to match. Klipper uses
Qt™'s QRegExp
, which understands most regular
expressions as you would use in grep or
egrep for instance.
You can add a description of the regular expression type (e.g. “HTTP URL”) by clicking in the Description column.
You can find detailed information about the use of
QRegExp
regular expressions at http://doc.trolltech.com/qregexp.html#details.
Note that Klipper does not support the wildcard mode mentioned on this
page.
Edit the regular expression as described above. To add a command to execute, and edit the command which appears in the tree under the regular expression.
click, selectNote that %s in the command line is replaced with
the clipboard contents, e.g. if your command definition is
kedit %s
and
your clipboard contents are /home/phil/textfile
,
the command kedit
will be run. To
include %s in the command line, escape it with a
backslash, as so: /home/phil/textfile
\%s
.
Brings up the Disable Actions for windows of type WM_CLASS dialog.
Some programs, such as Konqueror, use the clipboard internally. If you get unwanted Klipper pop-ups all the time when using a certain application, do the following:
Open the application.
From a terminal, run xprop
| grep
and then click on the window of the application you are
running.WM_CLASS
The first string after the equals sign is the one to enter.
Once the WM_CLASS is added, no more actions will be generated for windows of that application.
