✨ NAME ✨

waycopy — copy data to the clipboard 💖

Okay so picture this, bestie: you’ve got data, and you want it on the clipboard. That’s the whole waycopy vibe. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

waycopy [-f] [-p] [-s seat] [-t mimetype]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

waycopy copies data from standard in to the clipboard using the ext-data-control Wayland extension protocol. It’s giving clipboard pipeline realness, and honestly? Iconic.

  • -f — Keep in foreground, instead of forking into the background. So if you want it right there with you, bestie, this is the flag. 💅
  • -p — Use primary clipboard. Simple, cute, done. 🎀
  • -s seat — The name of the seat to use. Defaults to the first seat sent by the compositor. Seat choices are a whole vibe. 🦋
  • -t mimetype — The mimetype of the data. Defaults to "text/plain;charset=utf-8". Yes, that exact default. 🍓
