[Feature Request] Sync Primary and Clipboard buffers

Open abyss7 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

It's a main feature that I use with other clipboard managers: select with mouse, paste with Ctrl+V. Unfortunately, it's not available with this extension.

I don't think this is a good idea to mix them. There are three different selections (PRIMARY, SECONDARY, CLIPBOARD) for a reason. The usual convention is to paste PRIMARY (what's currently selected with mouse/keyboard) using the middle mouse button, see the Freedesktop.org Specification. This works out of the box on at least Ubuntu 20.04.

Aside how content gets pasted, if I select something it doesn't end up in the clipboard's history which is a feature I dearly miss.
