Not copying into the clipboard #104

Closed epicmet closed 1 year ago

This part of my .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'laktak/extrakto'
set -g @extrakto_clip_tool "xsel -i -b"

Running echo hi | xsel -i -b would correctly copy the text to my system clipboard but using the extrakto wouldn't. I even test it with xclip -sel clip, it wouldn't work either. Also I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and gnome-terminal

Some tips:

check that env variables are set (like DISPLAY)
try extrakto_clip_tool_run with bg or fg

Sorry for the late response, I haven't time to try what you suggested because I recently changed my operating system to Arch Linux and everything now looks OK. My original problem was that I could not use wl-clipboard because it would somehow make my Neovim unusable, so I was trying to use xsel or something else. But on my current operating system using wl-clipboard is fine.

I was wrong my problem with wl-clipboard and Neovim still exists and I can't use it. BUT It is working even though I don't have wl-clipboard installed and the @extrakto_clip_tool is set to auto.
