I use the shortcut ctrl-alt-v to activate klipper's pop-up list of recent selections. The usual sequence is something like ctrl-alt-v, followed by one or more down-arrow keys to find the stored text that I want to select. With kde3, this worked well with keyboard navigation. With kde4, there are two new problems:
a) If the mouse pointer happens to intersect with an item in the klipper pop-up list, klipper selects that item from the list. When this happens, I have to up-arrow to the top of the list again, which is cumbersome and unexpected. The home and end keys do no work, making this more difficult.
b) Hitting ctrl-alt-v then down-arrow does not select anything. The down-arrow must be pressed twice in order to select the first item on the list. In kde3, this extra keypress was not necessary. I think this is a side-effect of the "filter on typing" feature - not sure if that existed in kde3 or not. But isn't it possible to jump to the first item if the first keypress is down-arrow?
