KDE Clipboard Windows / App exclusion

Hey Susrs,

I’m totally new to SUSE, matter of fact I just installed it last night.
I wonder if there is a way to prevent Clipboard copying the content from inside my password manager.
I’m using SUSE Tumbleweed on KDE 6.2 with Wayland.

So far here’s what I did without having any success:

  • Right click on Clipboard from the System Tray and select Configure Clipboard
  • From the General Configuration window I then selected from the left Nav bar the option Action Menu
  • Click on the Exclude Windows… button (Why 3 dots? :-D)
  • Went through the description and clicked on the link How to find the name to enter
  • Run the suggested command: xprop | grep WM_CLASS
  • Open my password manager app

Once it’s open and I click on the window I don’t see any output coming out so I don’t know what name goes inside the exclusion list. Just in case, I tried the same process on Firefox and I did get a result.

I also tried running these two commands as well:

  • qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.activeWindow
  • qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.activeWindow | xargs -I {} qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.getWindowTitle {}

But they didn’t work for me.

Does anyone know how else I can find the name of the window that I want to exclude in Clipboard?

Is there any other way that I can try to prevent Clipboard saving the content copied from my password manager?

What you have done is described in the Klipper Handbook but I wonder if you have looked at the possibility in 2.3.2 of separating Selection and Clipboard as a way of achieving what you want.

No, I don’t see the option to do that in the Clipboard’s settings menu

This is what I see in Klipper settings (Leap 15.5)
