Is that the already-fixed KDE bug?  Where does a simple select
replace what you right-mouse/copied?

And right-mouse/copy?

I expect control-c to interrupt and kill an application as it has
for decades.  Why would you want to change that?

Still, no one has said what doesn't work with right-mouse/copy and
paste.  I use those with synergy making a single keyboard/mouse
span several machines, both Linux and windows and there are few
exceptions to right-mouse copy/paste working the same even when
the clipboard gets dragged over to a different OS.
