You can just hit the ESC key, too.

Sounds like you found it. Kinda funny--I lokve the clipper. It keeps a
record of stuff I've copy/pasted so I can find an old one. I love being
able to highlight something in emacs and pick a web browser launch. I
usually surf with Konqueror, but sometimes Konq can't handle the
javascript, so I just select the url and type 'm' and it opens in mozilla.
You can also disable to automatic popup but still access it with Alt-Ctl-R
if you want.
