I was wondering if it is possible to add a keybind to paste the x-clipboard in Lubuntu. (primary selection)
If possible to keybind it, would you still be able to use the middle-click too? Is there perhaps a clipboard manager that supports this?
Thanks in advance, Zarnaik
Edit: Thanks to Kupiakos for providing a solution. I have not tested it in Ubuntu, Lubuntu only.
This is how I did it.
First run
sudo apt-get install xsel xvkbd
to install the necessary packages. Then open the openbox configuration file as so
gedit ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
replacing gedit by whatever text-editor you use.
Once inside the file look for the <keyboard>
tag and add the below code.
<keybind key="W-v">
<action name="Execute">
<command>sh -c 'xsel | xvkbd -xsendevent -file -'</command>
</action>
</keybind>
I configured it to work with Super + v, but you can easily adjust that. Save the file and make openbox notice the change by executing
openbox --reconfigure
That's all there is to it.
Again thanks to Kupiakos for providing the command that I still fail to understand.
