I work in practically the exact opposite manner from yourself; I tend to collect a whole pile of URLs, then want to act on them later, so I don't want klipper automatically to pop up with an "open with" list of web browsers. For me, that's very annoying. But what we all want is just for our machines to obey and serve us. So I gave it a try, just for the sake of experiment, and to add to the list. I right-clicked on the klipper icon, then alt-ctrl-X, then tried to click on a link in the TDE mailing list email; and sure enough, I get the klipper "open with" dialog. So it works for me. Then I undid these changes, alt-ctrl-X again to reverse, tried again, and I am back to my usual. Myself, I prefer to use alt-ctrl-V, find my choice in the list, then open a browser page manually. Maybe I am not in a hurry. Maybe I am just a cranky old guy, but I like to do some things in a deliberate manner. Just to be sure, I repeated the experiment a few more times, enabling actions, then disabling them, by alt-ctrl-X, and everything works fine. It occurs to me that maybe you have some overlapping shortcuts in your system; that is, another program or whatever is using that shortcut for something, maybe a global shortcut. You might want to look in the Trinity Control Center for any shortcuts that happen to use alt-ctrl-X (or ctrl-alt-X). TCC > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts. Hang in there. Nice thing about TDE: once you finallly track down the source of a problem, it's easy enough to resolve, and *stays* resolved. Compared to any other desktop out there, a user can actually get the machine to be an obedient servant. Sometimes, though, it does take some time and work to get that to happen.
