• XMousePasteBlock

  15 353 4.9 C

  Userspace tool to disable middle mouse button paste in Xorg

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.

• dotfiles

  6 16 8.9 Shell

  :house: is where the :heart: is :tada: (by mohkale)

Huh, nice, I found something similar a while back which I've been using quite a lot. What I really like about this one is that it can also monitor and be quietly killed by sending eof on stdin. Let's me use the clipboard in pipelines where I start the script, pipe into curl with config set to - and then just copy urls to my clipboard. When I'm done hit C-d to send EOF and all of them download at once.

• sway

  613 13,779 9.2 C

  i3-compatible Wayland compositor

  

That's fair for wayland, I am not sure on its inner workings and have no idea whether you can run two wayland compositors at the same time on different tty. I quickly searched found this boi on GitHub asking for similar feature in Sway https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1416, they didn't care, but it might be possible.
