Clipboard support

Open l4l opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

It might be handy to support clipboard.

  • Copy, as far as I know, won't work, because no other wayland client can get a buffer after exit. And since yofi is displayed as overlay no other window (except locking screen maybe) can get it. Therefore I don't feel like it make much sense to implement it.
  • Paste should work fine.

Copy would make sense if someone were using a clipboard manager.

However, there’s no functional clipboard manager out there, so that’s not really relevant yet.

Yeah, that's right, thanks for noticing. It seems there's one: https://github.com/yory8/clipman
