Hello,

I just switched to KDE4 (upgraded my OS to Ubuntu 9.04) and am unable to copy/past properly. Normally, I would select some text with my mouse and shift insert it somewhere. This is now completely borked. I have something different in my buffer pasting something I don't want to be pasting.

In KDE3.5 when starting KDE for the first time you could select how you wanted the copy/paste behavior. Where can I find this in KDE4?

I couldn't find it in my keyboard and mouse settings (unless I overlooked it), any help is appreciated.

Run "Klipper". Then right click on the system tray icon that comes up. Go to "Configure Klipper". Make sure "General" is selected in the icon list on the left.

Now, in the right panel about halfway down there are two radio buttons. Select "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and selection".

There ya go.

Thank you very much. Although klipper didn't pop up on my taskbar, I was able to find it via the system settings and change the setting.
