This is the first stable release of wl-clipboard! 🎉 It features:

  • Primary clipboard support! Just pass the --primary flag and it will use the primary clipboard instead of the regular one. All the features are supported, so for example you can copy images into the primary clipboard (wl-copy -p < picture.png) and then paste them with middle-click.
  • xdg-shell support; this enables wl-clipboard to work on compositors that lack wl_shell support (such as Sway). wl-clipboard transparently chooses which protocol to use based on what it was built with and what the compositor supports, so you don't have to worry about this.
  • Vastly improved type inference in wl-paste. It's now very likely to just do the right thing by default. You can also now specify a type explicitly using the --type option for both wl-copy and wl-paste.
  • You can now list all the MIME types the selection is available in with wl-paste --list-types. I don't know of any other tool or app that lets you get this info (on Wayland).
  • A bunch of other flags and features (--paste-once, --foreground, --clear, --no-newline).
  • Lots of bug fixes.
  • A comprehensive man page! Type any of man wl-clipboard, man wl-copy, or man wl-paste to read it.
  • wl-clipboard is now packaged in the official Debian repos and in Arch (AUR)! 🎉
