Pastebins er en virkelig nyttig måde at dele tekststumper. Dog er det undertiden noget omstændeligt at have en browser åben, indskrive URL'en, kopiere den ind, klikke på send og så kopiere URL'en for at dele den med din ven. Det er derfor, at der findes sådan noget som wgetpaste – små kommandolinje-værktøjer, som automatiserer denne proces og returnerer URL'en. wgetpaste er selvfølgelig ikke den eneste, men de ligner alle hinanden ret meget.

Klipper is KDE’s Clipboard manager – whenever you copy something, via right click and select Copy or Ctrl+C, it gets added to your clipboard. Klipper allows you to navigate through it – so that you can paste something you copied a while back, or set up custom things to paste, or even set it to automatically perform an action on the paste. The most common use is to automatically open a link in a browser if you copy a link from somewhere.

What we’ll tackle is to get Klipper to autopaste our clipboard item into a pastebin, and return the URL to us. So just set it up as shown below:



And you’re done! Copy something, press Ctrl + Alt + R to invoke the actions menu, click Pastebin, and now the URL of the pasted item will be in your clipboard for you to Ctrl + V to your friend. Neat, eh?
