As someone using Wayland I can confirm it's indeed not a hot a mess
Can I use AwesomeWM, XMonad, or StumpWM on Wayland?
Can I run a GUI program over ssh?
Does it support the X selection and clipboard protocols?
(These are not rhetorical questions, I'm really asking.)
Can you run macos software on linux?
This is more of a why would you... Although, waypipe
Too lazy to google, but overall clipboard works as expected, both C-c and text selection. I remember experiencing problems with clipboards in vim (like 2 yrs ago) which were fixed by switching to nvim
Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a standalone compositor just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.
Correct, yet I personally don't find it too useful and sometimes harmful when dealing with, for example, password managers
I've added a keybind for deleting history, but it'd be great to have a way to specify short lived clipboard entries. But this might also be one of those standards that no one implements.
