Robert Riemann writes about an awesome workflow for pastebin using Klipper. Very cool indeed.
Here's another awesome pastebin workflow: add the Pastebin Plasma widget (which is likely to get renamed to something like "Share It" in 4.5) and drag things to it: text, images, even files! You can also just middle click on it to paste the currently selected text. It then sends it to a pastebin on the Internet and when it's done it offers a nice little notification with the URL in it and can even pop the url into the clipboard for you.
Clicking on the widget opens the last pastebin URL in a web browser window and right clicking gives you a history (in addition to the usual configuration, etc.)
There is some documentation about this very cool Plasma widget on Userbase and someone even uploaded a screencast to Youtube showing it in action.
Huzzah.
Update: since it was a 30 second change, I made it so that when you trigger the pastebin wiget with a keyboard shortcut, it pastes whatever is on the clipboard. Fun.

I love how you people implement features at random w/o consulting anyone or having a process of aproval.
@Ramsees: are you complaining that we implement features?
if so: who do you think should have approved this feature? and what issues do you have with this feature?
note that this wasn't a feature "at random": assigning a keyboard shortcut to the pastebin widget did nothing prior to this. you could set a shortcut, but nothing would happen when you triggered it. sounds broken to me. so now when you assign a shortcut to it, and trigger that shortcut, it does what one would expect: activates the pastebin feature.
so ... what was the issue again?
Aaron J. Seigo: Im not complaining, I do software for living and we have some process when we want the minimun feature or change to the software we mantaning, It doesn't matter how small or trivial may be.
That's why I said "I love", no burocracy.
ah, ok :)
we do have some processes around bigger features and design, of course.
but yeah, small stuff like this, esp things that fill in the "obviously missing gaps" goes straight in and we do the peer review via the commit log emails.
and yes, i don't miss the days of working at places where i had to submit paperwork for that kind of thing :)
Dear God 3rd time trying to post this.. openid is clearly borked between wordpress and blogger :(
While you are on a roll any chance of you looking at
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/timetracker/
for the KDE using freelance folks out there.. Bit fed up being taunted by the hamster using Gnome folks.. KtimeTracker is fine app, but burried within Kontact it's a bit cumbersome and eassily to forget to stop/start..
