Make pasting on Linux more robust, close #65 #66

Closed tecosaur closed 4 years ago

tecosaur commented 4 years ago

As stated in #65 this seems to be more robust

zachcurry commented 4 years ago

@tecosaur It would be cool to make the keyboard shortcut configurable. Feel free to send a pull request.

I mean, I guess that would be nice, it just seems unnecessary to me. I use CopyQ a lot, and have never had an issue with that pasting; it uses Shift+Insert. However Ctrl+V is rebound in a fair few apps, notably most terminals.

@zachcurry would be good if you could follow up on my previous comment :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry for the delay, @tecosaur.

You may be right. As someone who only uses Linux for a production environment, I don't know all of the ways in which a user might configure their environment, or if certain issues may arise from which applications use PRIMARY and which applications use CLIPBOARD with Shift+Insert, etc. Making this configurable would give the user, the one who knows more about their environment and use case(s), more control over how the paste operation works; however, since simply hardcoding Shift+Insert seems to be preferable to hardcoding Ctrl+v, I will go ahead and merge your pull request and table the potential corner cases for a later date.
