Saves data, even if willfully removed from clipboard #191

Saves data forever, even if it is removed from clipboard after x seconds.

To me it was a huge shock to see rofi knows all the passwords, I carefully encrypted with pass. I didn't even knew about cliphist, since it came shipped with the distro.

Hi, please explain exactly what you mean — what sort of data wl-clipboard is saving, and how? (where to?)

If what you're unhappy about is cliphist saving your clipboard contents in a local databse, then that has little to do with wl-clipboard. cliphist indeed uses wl-clipboard to access the Wayland clipboard, but it's cliphist, not wl-clipboard, that stores / persists your clipboard contents.

So please clarify what you mean, and whether that has anything to do with wl-clipboard.

This was the wrong repository. Sorry.
