My brain hurts after reading that. Since Wayland decided there should
be Only One clipboard buffer (which is probably a good idea), would it
be too hard to just make Menu Copy/Paste do the same thing as Keyboard
Copy/Paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V) do the same thing as Select/Middle-Click
Copy/Paste, all with the same single clipboard buffer, on/between both
Xwayland apps and native Wayland apps?
we will lose the ability to have one regular clipboard and one with the
selection and middle click?
that was and is a great option if you have to paste different things
multiple times in the same document (source code) and makes things so
much faster when you just have to move the pointer and press middle-key
or CTRL+V on the postion you need it
