Global paste event #2562

Closed ouziel-slama closed 7 months ago

ouziel-slama commented 7 months ago

I would like to systematically display a dialog box to confirm a paste.

By following the example here https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command-examples.html#edit-and-paste, I manage to do it for the ctrl+v but using the edit > paste menu the dialog box is not displayed.

[Command]
Command="
    copyq:
    var text = dialog('paste', str(clipboard()))
    if (text) {
      copy(text)
      copySelection(text)
      paste()
    }"
GlobalShortcut=ctrl+v
Icon=\xf0ea
Name=Edit and Paste

Is this possible in general and with Wayland/Labwc in particular (with xwayland applications)?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK there is no other way to support the paste operation from CopyQ on Wayland except by adding Wayland Support command to CopyQ and installing+configuring ydotool. See also #27.
