💖 WL-CLIPBOARD-X11(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the wl-clipboard-x11 page — it's the lil glow-up that lets you keep your X11 clipboard habits while living your best Wayland life 💅

✨ NAME ✨

wl-clipboard-x11 — a wrapper that lets you use wl-clipboard as a drop-in replacement for X11 clipboard tools 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wl-clipboard-x11 [ ARGS ]...

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so wl-clipboard-x11 is literally the simplest little script ever, and its whole personality is: let you use wl-clipboard instead of the old X11 clipboard tools (xclip and xsel). no cap. 🦋

what it does is try to translate your positional arguments into the equivalent wl-clipboard ones, and it peeks at argv[0] (like, the command you actually called) to figure out whether it's out here emulating xclip or emulating xsel. main character energy tbh 👑

✨ KNOWN ISSUES ✨

not everything made the jump, bestie 😭 the following positional arguments have no equivalent feature in wl-clipboard, so wl-clipboard-x11 just… ignores them. vibe check failed, they're not invited.

🌸 XCLIP 🌸

  • -f, -filter
  • -l num, -loops num — it'll loop only once (check out --paste-once in wl-clipboard for that vibe)
  • -d displayname, -display displayname
  • -selection secondary
  • -noutf8

🌸 XSEL 🌸

  • -d, --delete — it'll behave the same as --clear
  • -s, --secondary
  • -k, --keep
  • -x, --exchange
  • --display displayname
  • -l filename, --logfile filename
