[go-nuts] Issue with golang.design/x/clipboard

[Arie van Wingerden]

See my code attached!

My issue is that, after writing to the clipboard, I can only read the 
string I wrote back during the period I "sleep" after the write.

If I do not sleep, the clipboard immediately reverts to "empty".

Am I doing something wrong here?

TIA
Arie

	clipboard.Write(clipboard.FmtText, []byte(user))
	
	// While sleeping, I can paste the clipboard content ("elephant¨)
	// in a separate running text editor.
	
	// But, when this program is finished, the clipboard appears to be
	// empty! Why is that?
	
	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)

	fmt.Println("Ready!")
