Add clipboard (& other stuff) support #31

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Closes #26.

I will look into the other stuff (except gamma which is already here) later, I hope it will be this week.

The clipboard seems to work only partly, but AFAICT Sway (1.6.1) behaves the same:

Working testcase:

  1. open two neovims (in two separate terminals)
  2. write something in one
  3. (still in the 1st nvim) enter visual mode, select some text, "+y (copy into clipboard)
  4. switch to the other nvim
  5. "+p (paste from clipboard) (works)

Failing testcase (if you use primary selection = "*y & middle click, it doesn’t fail)

  1. open a neovim and a terminal (alacritty, zsh)
  2. write something in the nvim, copy it into clipboard
  3. switch to the other terminal
  4. shift-insert (doesn’t work)

screencopy & (export) dmabuf have been supported in kiwmi since December 2019. Were you writing that issue w/o checking what was already in?

Anyway, it means that this PR should be ready.

I'd tested it and I'm able to build it with wlr 0.14.1 and copy stuff between neovim and kakoune in 2 separated terminals. Also screenshots and recording works fine. (recording only works if you run kiwmi from tty)

I was copying from a list I had in some document without thinking about it for a single second, haha.

Anyways, thanks for the PR!

So it seems to be actually a problem of clients, not the compositor. Great!
