XMousePasteBlock VS mpv-mpris

I've actually been using XMousePasteBlock since it does things more elegantly than running an endless loop in the background. But it's still a workaround that shouldn't be necessary unfortunately.

Also, don't run this incredibly bad bash script for purging the X11 selection buffer. Use XMousePasteBlock: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

This is what I use on X11, but I doubt it would work on Wayland. Might be worth trying anyway: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

here go: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

I'm pretty sure I used https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock, never had to deal with it since

The option to turn it off only works on GTK apps. Here you have a workaround for this. I've been using it for quite some time now and works great so far (I'm on Pop btw).

This tool named XMousePasteBlock may help you, and it has an AUR package if you use ArchLinux.

there's the mpv-mpris plugin which solves this btw

afaik mpv doesn't support that itself but you can get most of the media control functionality with the mpv-mpris plugin

As I usually run mpv from the CLI or another program and control it via the keyboard, that doesn't sound like the wrapper adds anything I'd personally have a use for. BTW, controlling plain mpv via MPRIS just requires the mpv-mpris plugin to be installed.

Use the C plugin instead, which is still being maintained: https://github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris
