The option to avoid showing the action menu when pressing Ctrl assumes that usually one wants the action to run or that the regexs are very selective. That's not always the case; for example, an action could search a word in a web dictionary, so the regex would be something like "[a-zA-Z]{3,}". I propose to replace the checkbox "Skip action by holding Control" for a dropdown "Skip action by" with two possible values "holding Control" and "not holding Control".
hi, git commit 547218e1f5710465d6fdb761c8d7cb96a81c9558 it's not tested, but should do it. please confirm. regards, mike
released with 1.2.5
Seems broken. Now I have to always hold control to trigger actions no matter the setting chosen. Using Clipman 1.2.5 on Fedora 20 with latest updates.
works for me, but i noticed the actions will only popup once when selecting the same text content repeatedly.
Yeah, I know about the only pop up once for the same text. Been that was as long as I can remember. That's fine. The problem may be tangential. I notice no matter what I set it to it always reverts to "Skip actions by holding Control" but behaves the opposite. And ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml always reverts to <property name="skip-action-on-key-down" type="bool" value="false"/> no matter how I set it. Even if I hand edit the .xml to "true" then run clipman the value reverts to false. For now I've just hacked the whole option out of the code. Ctrl was a bad choice anyhow IMHO since Ctrl-double click has meaning to other programs. Thanks for checking into it though.
