wl-clipboard VS xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

> things it doesn't support like xclip

$ cat ~/bin/clip

    #!/bin/sh

With the default config I noticed I couldn't paste contents from the selection buffer in some applications, so I added the following wl-clipboard calls in my hyprland.conf:

This is just kinda how wayland works. The way wl-clipboard handles it is it forks off and stays in the background. That process is what serves the clipboard requests.

On wayland wl-paste pastes the from the clipboard. On X11 replace wl-paste with either xsel --clipboard --output or xclip -selection clipboard -o

No, but there's a wl-clipboard for that

Linux isn't very pleasant.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

I just had a quick Google and xclip or wl-clipboard may be what you’re looking for. I’ve never used them but they sound promising.

For point 2 I found that wl-paste seems to share the windows clipboard. Taking a screenshot and then in WSL

It comes with a systemd service file https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr.service.in that you can use

Are you running the Wayland envvar for Firefox, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? Because the rest of your setup sounds very similar to my (working) setup. You could also run the Python test script included with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (bottom of this page) as a sanity check that nothing's going wrong there

You'll need this

I believe that a lot of the current approach to fixing it is something similar to xdg-desktop-portal. That's for signaling for screenshots, but a similar idea could work for listening for key events without being focused, apparently. It bypasses the standard Wayland system completely and uses D-Bus and Pipewire instead. I'm not too familiar with the details myself, though.

I don't know which of the xdg-desktop-portal backends you would need for gamescope, but xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a config file which it reads where you can set the preferred output and set the chooser_type to none. That makes it skip the screen selector for me.
