Better default `copy-command` and `paste-command` #48

Closed NNBnh closed 2 years ago

NNBnh commented 2 years ago

Pepper currently can pick commands for clipboard handling pretty fine but could be improve by supporting xclip and Wayland's wl-clipboard:

If on Wayland then use wl-clipboard:
- Copy: wl-copy
- Paste: wl-paste --no-newline
Else if on X11:
- If xclip is installed then use it:
- Copy: xclip -in -selection clipboard
- Paste: xclip -out -selection clipboard
- Else use xsel as currently is.

You could check out clipb a clipboard managers warper that I write (relevant code).

Does xclip -selection clipboard -in work on wayland? That is the default config on linux (https://github.com/vamolessa/pepper/blob/master/pepper/rc/default_configs.pepper#L59).

I think it probably makes more sense to keep it the way it is and let users who prefer to change the default clipboard manager by using the copy-command and paste-command commands in their config file.

Unfortunately xsel and xclip doesn't work on Wayland.

Yeah okay.
