I'm certain there must be some unprintable stuff in there since a comparison of  .local/share/klipper/history2.lst containing the same data from the different sources shows a difference.
Sorry, I misunderstood your question.  I'll look around and see what I can find out on that. 

Service 'org.kde.klipper' does not exist.
I normally don't use klipper anymore, but just started it on my machine and that command worked fine.  Are you sure you had
klipper started?  It won't work if it isn't.  Let me know.  I'm curious about that.  It should work.

Thanks, I may have to.  Or just paste into the "input" box of the spreadsheet.
 
Yeah, give CopyQ a tryout.  Just be sure you don't have both it klipper running at the same time.  You don't want two processes
going after the clipboard at the same time.
