Do you find Klipper useful?

Personally I don;t see much use for it, but maybe some one can enlighten me.

I find it really useful for forums, especially when doing multiple quotes in a single post. I highlight some text I intend to quote, then highlight the next block, and so on. Then when I'm ready to write my post, I can click the quote button several times and use Klipper to choose which text selection to paste into the various quote tags.

Thanks for the response, but I don't get it. Why not just click the multi-quote button, hit reply, delete any text you don't want to quote?

Not useful, extremely useful!

Basically it is a history of your clipboard but it can do much more. Very important thing is that the contents persist between sessions, so if you have something in your clipboard, you log off/reboot/shutdown and then you log back in, you still have your whole clipboard history ready and the most recent entry already in clipboard, so you can paste it immediately.

I wrote a service menu that checks MD5SUM and puts it on the klipboard. Also the Dropbox service menu uses it. Very useful IMO.

Different people have different preferred workflows, I guess.

Also, I may not be quoting from other posts in the forum... I may be quoting from one or more other sites.

If there was not something like Klipper, I would probably go back to Windows (brrr) or start using OSX. I guess that's as strong a I can say it. I write tutorials and I really use it all of the time. I've about 50 entries in it, and that works really very fast and easy.
