Whenever I try to use krunner and I have something in my clipboard, krunner always auto pastes it. I see where the feature can be useful but I would like if I had the option to disable this feature. I just dont want to keep holding backspace or pressing the big X to get rid of whatever is auto pasted in the search because when I go to search and open an application, I want to do it with nothing in the way and nothing I have to do first. I think krunner is a great application and it is very helpful. This small implementation of having a choice to enable or disable the clipboard auto paste would make the experience using krunner even better for me.
The issue is not that whenever I type it auto fills. I like that feature. It is whenever I copy something and I open krunner it auto pastes something that I copied from clipboard in the search bar. That is the option I would like to toggle off.
that does not sound like normal behavior.
if i open krunner and pin it so it stays open
clear the input text box, if need be
then copy text from kate (say)
it does not populate my krunner with the copied text
these are my klipper settings
I have the same settings except my krunner is never pinned. I always like to open it with my shortcut (ctrl+shift+space). Is the problem that I open a krunner with something in my clipboard?
how are you opening krunner?
i usually just start typing on the desktop, or i also have it set up for a hot corner… but neither one of those ways will fill the text box with anything other that what i type.
I just press my shortcut and it opens. That is literally it.
which one, there are two.
alt+shift+F2 says it will run command on clipboard contents?
is that what you are using?
because that will def take whatever is in the klippy and put in the text box.
I am using ctrl+space+shift to open krunner.
I assume that is a custom shortcut. Does it paste when you use the default (Alt + Space)?
I figured out the issue and it was on my end. The problem was that I had my shortcut in the “run command on clipboard contents”. It was a me problem.
