My FOSS terminal clipboard manager is now at version 0.8.2! - eviltoast

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of a clipboard manager that I know many of us Linux users here might know, called just The Clipboard Project.

I’ve spent the past couple months working on a bunch of speed optimizations, little fixes, and a really cool new feature for Linux only: asynchronous X11/Wayland clipboard synchronization. What that means is that you can copy stuff in the background and your CB clipboard will pick it all up automatically.

If that sounds awesome, then you can get the brand-spanking-new 0.8.2 version at https://github.com/Slackadays/Clipboard or this post’s link (thanks, Lemmy!)

    Do you mean it should work regardless of this tool? Or it works because of this tool?

    I use foot for the most part, and alacritty when I use X. I’ll check if foot has it. Thanks!!

      Synchronizing the clipboard over SSH uses the OSC 52 protocol, which both the terminal and the programs you run in the terminal have to support. Foot may or may not support it, and almost no regular software does, but CB got complete OSC 52 support recently.
