    [klipper] Set a default shortcut for "Open Klipper at Mouse Position" · 071868eb

    This is a mind-blowingly amazing feature, but nobody knows about it
    because it's disabled by default since it has no default shortcut, and
    there is no visible UI to tell you about it except for the shortcut
    configuration view buried in Klipper's settings window.
    
    A similar feature was just recently introduced in Microsoft Windows, and
    users have started to ask why no equivalent KDE feature exists, because
    they are unaware that it already does! The shortcut Microsoft chose is
    Meta+V, which is a completely sensible one. If we set the same shortcut
    for the Klipper feature, discoverability is automatically increased
    because users familiar with Windows are already becoming accustomed to the
    Meta+V shortcut. This is not an argument for deliberately copying
    another platform, but rather making use of the user familiarity that
    they have helpfully done the hard work of creating for us. Meta+V is
    unused and is an appropriate shell-level global shortcut by virtue of
    using the Meta key. So let's bind it to this Klipper feature by default.
