Is there a command for pasting what is in clipboard?

I need a command that does the same thing as to press Ctrl+V.

I tried a few options for xclip, but they don't paste normally and need middle click or so.

Klipper

The Kubuntu is using as default the Klipper. KDE UserBase: http://userbase.kde.org/Klipper

As a KDE/Qt application the Klipper can be used via the qdbus: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/qdbus.1.html

Available commands can be viewed with the qdbusviewer:

or with the terminal (konsole):

:~$ qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.clearClipboardContents()

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.clearClipboardHistory()

method QString org.kde.klipper.klipper.getClipboardContents()

method QString org.kde.klipper.klipper.getClipboardHistoryItem(int i)

method QStringList org.kde.klipper.klipper.getClipboardHistoryMenu()

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.saveClipboardHistory()

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents(QString s)

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.showKlipperManuallyInvokeActionMenu()

method void org.kde.klipper.klipper.showKlipperPopupMenu()

method QDBusVariant org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get(QString interface_name, QString property_name)

method QVariantMap org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll(QString interface_name)

method void org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set(QString interface_name, QString property_name, QDBusVariant value)

method QString org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect()

method QString org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.GetMachineId()

method void org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping()

The command

qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper getClipboardContents

will get the last line from the clipboard.

The command can added to the KDE menu (http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kde-workspace/kmenuedit/index.html) and called with the keyboard shortcut or to the file manager context menu (KDE service menu - http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Creating_Konqueror_Service_Menus).
