In wayland the text copied from a window needs to be alive to be able to paste text elsewhere, if window is closed, pressing Ctrl+v or even Middle-Button pasting won't work. Can copyq help here ? or do i need to run some other program ? |

Reset Empty Clipboard/Selection command should be able to reset the clipboard to the previous content if the system clipboard owner app is closed (see README.md for details on how to add the command). |

Thank you this is exactly what i wanted. I have gone through copyq-commands several times but couldn't figure out that this script purpose. Can the description of the https://github.com/hluk/copyq-commands/tree/master/Scripts#reset-empty-clipboardselection be improved, maybe mentioning that it is must or wayland users would like too try this as this solves problem of [wayland-text-clearnig-behaviour]. |

AFAIK, the behavior applies to X11 and even other systems too. The command is definitely not required. OTOH, for someone, it may cause an unexpected behavior or even security problem (for example, if a password manager does not handle clipboard safely). |

nvm then, I transitioned to linux and started using wayland and was under the impression that this behaviour is wayland specific. |
