I'm looking for a text insertion utility, preferably native KDE, but gtk will work.

I need something that I can insert pre-defined text snippets into various windows. Klipper isn't what I'm looking for - I don't want a clipboard program.

In Windows, I used a program called QPaste, which would present a textual menu when I pressed a hotkey. The textual menu would show a list of pre-defined pieces of text. When you selected one with the mouse, the pre-defined text would be "fed" or inserted into the active window. I'm looking for something similar for Linux.

Is there any such thing?

Don't think such an app exists for linux, since you've said you don't like klipper *and yeah, it would be nice to name the various clips. One thing I suppose you could do is copy the snippets into an editor session, put a header on them, and manually search them out with the editor's search function. Vim and emacs have advanced search functions, regular expression features. There is a little (or a lot, depending on how complicated you want to get) more manual intervention. However, you'd be able to store a lot more snippets. Copying text from one window to another is as simple as highlighting the text you want to copy in the one window (with the left mouse button, just as in windows), switching to the other window, then placing cursor where you want the selected text to be pasted, then clicking the middle mouse button - viola! not drop down menus, instant pasting.

I have suggested something like what you are saying, but speed and time are issues... and that would take longer than I'd like. But I dunno... I guess that's my next best guess.

The reason Klipper isn't an option, is that I do a lot of copying and pasting. My specific snippets of text get lost in all the copy and paste history.
