cliphist VS sway

To work around it, it seems that one have to use a clipboard manager. Under X11 I used CopyQ, which did solve it for me then. Now under Wayland I did not get CopyQ to work out of the box. I have instead tried using cliphist https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist

I use cliphist with this waybar module, from the Manjaro Sway default config (I think):

Use a clipboard manager like clipman or cliphist

I haven't tried it yet, but I recently found out about cliphist.

When I copy text via mouse, everything works fine, but when I copy url via mouse nothing happens at all. I use wl-clipboard and clipman for history(tried also cliphist but result the same). I found only one workaround - copy url via tridactyl yy. Any ideas how this could be solved?

I wrote a simple script a while ago which supports newlines etc https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist

This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.

I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway

From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
