copyq vs xclip

Open jeroentbt opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Would you be willing to share why you're depending on copyq and not just xclip for copying images to the clipboard?

Because xclip has no support for images

Have you tried xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i imageToCopy.png?

Just tried it. Cannot paste anything in any application afterwards

Strange, works fine here, in this comment box via Firefox, Libre Office stuff, slack, ... Thought it would have helped in removing a dependency.
