Hi,

I don't know how much work it is or if it's even possible to make it work on wayland. Just kindly wanted to let you know that it does not work.

❯ flatpak run com.github.hezral.clips

Try one of the following resolutions:

 * Please make sure that you have an X server running, and that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly

Thanks but it won't work on wayland due to how clipboard works on wayland. I've been researching but so far no good solutions, mostly workarounds.
