--- Comment #11 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> ---
BTW, for people suffering from Eclipse's clipboard deficiency and want a
workaround: I have installed the wl-clipboard package and then use the
following script as a daemon (run it as a background task in your shell, set up
a SystemD user service, whatever):
```
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
listen) wl-paste -w "$0"; exit;;
esac
avail_types="$(wl-paste -l)"
if grep -q STRING <<<"$avail_types" && ! grep -q text/plain <<<"$avail_types";
then
wl-paste -n -t STRING | wl-copy -t text/plain
fi
```
When run as '<script> listen', the script uses the wl-paste and wl-copy command
line tools from wl-clipboard to watch the Wayland clipboard and if it sees the
clipboard advertising "STRING" but not "text/plain", it immediately creates a
"text/plain" copy of the "STRING" clipboard entry.
This does kill the RTF clipboard content advertised by Eclipse, so if you need
that - don't use the "listen" mode, just execute the script (with no
parameters) every time you need a one-off text copy of the clipboard content.
