Keyboard shortcut for Klipper?
Are there keyboard shortcuts for using Klipper?
I'm using KDE 3.2.1 with SuSe 9.1.
Ctrl+Alt+V opens it, like right-click. Then you can use up/down arrows to choose an entry and hit enter to verify. Then Ctrl+V to paste. There are actions too but i did not learned it yet.

Ok, I did find those. My middle mouse button is set to paste, and as I understand it, this is a different paste than the Control-V paste. Is there a way that I can make a keyboard shortcut that does the same thing as my middle mouse button?
Ah, there is two parts of clipboard available: clipboard and selection. So Ctrl+V pastes contents of clipboard and middle-mouse - the contents of selection. You can overwrite this behaviour by checking an option "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" in Klippers configuration dialog, so it become a same. Try using help for more info.

Ah, thank you. "Selection" was the word I couldn't remember. If I want a key to paste the selection, then this would be a job for Xkb, not Klipper. This is now off of the topic of KDE, but the behavior I am looking for is the ability to use the keyboard to paste the selection contents into programs like xterm, that don't support Control-V. Any insight into that?
It's Shift+Insert on terminals.
