Eclipse in KDE

[Arthur Pemberton]

Across two versions of Fedora now (F10,F11) I have had problems with
keyboard shortcut usage of copy,cut,paste in Eclipse -- and as far as
I know, only Eclipse. My initial Googling suggests that this only
happens in KDE, and the only real solution I have come across so far
is disabling Klipper, which I rather not do. Anyone have a better
solution to the problem? Do I need to file a bug somewhere?

The exact problem is that the shortcuts (seemingly) fail to trigger
their associated actions. Example, Ctrl+C fails to copy the selected
text. Right-click then selecting 'Copy' always seems to work however.

It is quite an annoying problem to have in an IDE.

bugs filed?  (I'd first suspect an eclipse issue, or perhaps a genuine 
klipper conflict of some sort).

I think it's possible to blacklist apps in klipper (but I think that's only 
for actions, which are disabled by default anyway).

Found this, that looks like it clearly describes the problem, and provides 
several workarounds:

Thanks a million. The eclipse-klipper problem has been driving me crazy, 
but I didn't realize it was the interaction with klipper that was 
causing it. Based on  the web pages (and bug reports) I found when 
looking for answers to the problem, many other people don't realize it, 
either.
