What does it mean for clipmenud to take ownership of the clipboard? And why is such behaviour helpful?
When an X application dies, it cannot serve its clipboard content. Having a long running daemon like clipmenud to serve it allows it to persist after its death.
Ah copy thanks!
Hi, I was wondering why one would want to enable the setting
CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD=1
?What does it mean for
clipmenud
to take ownership of the clipboard? And why is such behaviour helpful?I noticed it used to be default but that was changed after numerous issues with other applications that also took ownership of the clipboard.
