GWSL-Source

GWSL-Source copied to clipboard

Enabling clipboard sharing seems to not only share the CLIPBOARD clipboard, but also the PRIMARY clipboard. So if you something, it instantly overrides the (shared) clipboard. VcXsrv offers the option -noclipboardprimary to disable this and only share the CLIPBOARD. It would be goot do to be able to configure this without a custom profile. I would even argue that it is the better default, especially if you're a Windows user and have never heard of the copy-on-select feature.

Hmm. I'll look into it. Maybe I'll make it another builtin profile. We'll see what I can do while maintaining simplicity in the backend.

Also have this issue using GWSL on my Win11. I use IDE installed on WSL, and it is very annoying when I select and copy something in Win, then in my IDE copy what I want to replace and because of this "primary selection" it overrides clipboard with what I first selected in IDE. Need to delete what I want to replace without the selection and paste copied stuff from Win...

On my todo :)

Exactly the same reason I came here to post an issue about! Thanks for the work @Pololot64 Also @Yogu can you post how did you manage to run it even with the flag? I tried creating a new custom profile, however the GWSL Service crashes continuously when I use it. Here is my settings.json

{
 "conf_ver": 6,
 "gwsl_ver": "1.4.0",
 "general": {
  "pulseaudio": true,
  "clipboard": true,
  "start_menu_mode": false,
  "shell_gui": "cmd",
  "acrylic_enabled": true
 },
 "graphics": {
  "window_mode": "NoCopyOnSelect",
  "hidpi": false
 },
 "putty": {
  "ip": null,
  "ssh_key": null
 },
 "distro_blacklist": [
  "docker"
 ],
 "app_blacklist": [
  "exampleblock"
 ],
 "xserver_profiles": {
  "Plain VcXsrv": [],
  "NoCopyOnSelect": [
   "-noclipboardprimary"
  ]
 }
}

Ok, so solution is also mentioned in previous issues: #127 #99 #16 😄 So custom profile should be with flags: -wgl -compositewm -multiwindow -clipboard -noprimary -dpi -auto Also posting proper configuration:

{
 "conf_ver": 6,
 "gwsl_ver": "1.4.0",
 "general": {
  "pulseaudio": true,
  "clipboard": true,
  "start_menu_mode": false,
  "shell_gui": "cmd",
  "acrylic_enabled": true
 },
 "graphics": {
  "window_mode": "NoCopyOnSelect",
  "hidpi": false
 },
 "putty": {
  "ip": null,
  "ssh_key": null
 },
 "distro_blacklist": [
  "docker"
 ],
 "app_blacklist": [
  "exampleblock"
 ],
 "xserver_profiles": {
  "Plain VcXsrv": [],
  "NoCopyOnSelect": [
   "-wgl",
   "-compositewm",
   "-multiwindow",
   "-clipboard",
   "-noprimary",
   "-notrayicon",
   "-dpi",
   "-auto"
  ]
 }
}

UPDATE Updated the flags and configuration to directly match default MultiWindow without the primary clibboard

Ok, I will do this by adding an unexposed configuration entry called block_primary. That will not get in the way of existing functionality.

I am still struggling with this, I am using an IDE directly in WSL via GSWL and it is now copying everything I am trying to paste on select. I tried @mitsos1os config above and its not changing any behaviour unfortunately.

Hello. With gwsl 1.4.5, you have the ability to f Disable primary using the configuration file. It should work. Let me know if something doesn't work

I am on 1.4.5 - but in IntelliJ (Pycharm for example) it still overrides the clipboard when I select something in PyCharm. I added the configuration from https://github.com/Opticos/GWSL-Source/issues/142#issuecomment-1123760551:

{
 "conf_ver": 7,
 "gwsl_ver": "1.4.5",
 "general": {
  "pulseaudio": true,
  "hide_donation_reminder": false,
  "force_disable_primary": false,
  "clipboard": true,
  "start_menu_mode": false,
  "shell_gui": "cmd",
  "acrylic_enabled": true
 },
 "graphics": {
  "window_mode": "multi",
  "hidpi": false
 },
 "putty": {
  "ip": null,
  "ssh_key": null
 },
 "distro_blacklist": [
  "docker"
 ],
 "app_blacklist": [
  "exampleblock"
 ],
 "xserver_profiles": {
  "Plain VcXsrv": [],
  "NoCopyOnSelect": [
   "-wgl",
   "-compositewm",
   "-multiwindow",
   "-clipboard",
   "-noprimary",
   "-notrayicon",
   "-dpi",
   "-auto"
  ]
 }
}

Make "force_disable_primary" true. That may work. Also use it with the default profile.

@voycey Did you enable the profile in the right click context menu?

I also enabled force_disable_primary in the general section of the settings. This is working for me.

Ive actually moved to Jetbrains Gateway now so this is no longer relevant but good to know - ill try this one too!
