[Linux] Wayland Clipboard

Open DarkArc opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I saw merge #5, happy to see changes for Linux support being added. However, xclip will not work under Wayland.

https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard seems to be gaining traction as the defacto replacement, and is officially packaged by Fedora (I haven't checked others, this is likely true there as well).

This seems like a detail that will need addressed somehow, especially with the increasing traction behind Wayland. So I wanted to note it here.

Thanks, I think we may use a cross platform rust library https://github.com/alacritty/copypasta.

That sounds like a great idea to me 🙂
