Klipper is frequently causing the system to hang on copy/paste actions. This is indicated by my taskbar being non-interactive on copy/paste. This will usually last for 10-30 seconds, or I will restart plasma through the terminal.

How do I disable/remove Klipper?

    Unless you want to be left unable to use copy/paste, this sounds like an [XY Problem](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/66378). Can you provide more context and details about the problem? What applications are being used when the system hangs? Where are you copy/pasting to and from, and how are you doing that. Context menus? Keyboard shortcuts? How did you determine that klipper is responsible and not some other process? Have you used a resource monitor while the problem is happening? – Nmath Dec 09 '21 at 02:18
  • @Nmath I am replacing Klipper with copyq. I remember doing something with Klipper on my last device to disable/remove it. It behaves like intermittently, but it is pretty indiscriminate on the application/environment I am copy/pasting to/from. Another thing it does frequently is fail to copy content on Ctrl+C. Also, even if this is an XY problem, I want to use copyq, so having Klipper would be unnecessary. – no_one Dec 09 '21 at 05:37

You just need to open the system tray: right click -> Configure System Tray. Then go to "Entries" and disable the "Clipboard" entry. Add CopyQ to Autostartand reboot

It looks like it's part of Plasma-workspace. So not removable without recompiling Plasma. If you need to restart Plasma, use pkill plasma; plasma plasmashell &.
