@Bro666 @kde Is there a logical explanation why the clipboard history doesn't automatically paste the text into the last cursor position?
@Nuuskis @kde
I don't know. So you don't accidentally paste something you didn't intend to? No idea. Sounds like a good wishlist thing to post to

I agree that pasting the selected item right away would make the feature even more useful.
On wayland this would be pretty difficult to implement (CopyQ for example does this only on X11). I'm currently working on an enhanced version of the klipboard widget, that should trigger a "fake" paste shortcut after the selection
@tubbadu Thanks for the explanation! I had no clue it'd be related to compositor at all.
It's a configurable option in Klipper (which is the process that's handling the clipboard in this video). You can access klipper in your system tray and if you right click on it one of the options lets you open up the settings (it's also somewhere in system settings I think but I always just get there via the system tray icon).
You can also configure how many entries it'll remember, whether it should pop up at the mouse cursor position, and set up regular expressions to recognize certain types of text (e.g. URLs) to perform specific actions.
