Preserve last copy in clipboard #232

Closed lmccartneystar closed 1 month ago

lmccartneystar commented 1 month ago

Hi, I have an inconvenience and haven't found a solution yet, here's some context: If I copy something from a window and then close it, then the clipboard is empty and I lose what I just copied. I know I can solve this by running: CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD=1 clipmenud But then I also have to run clipmenu and select an entry.

Well, I find that last part inconvenient, I know I can use a keybind, but most of the time I trigger that keybind after realizing that Ive just failed to paste something because the clipboard was empty. And since I open/close terminals all the time, this happens quite often.

It would be nice if the program would just automatically write to the clipboard what was last copied if CM_OWN_CLIPBOARD is enabled.
