Where did you get the package for SL(7) for copyq? I find parcallite a
very pale imitation of ClipMate that I used to pay for and use on
Windows (sadly, no linux version and the clipboard doesn't seem to sync
right with Crossover)...

We still (optionally) support the PRIMARY selection on the X11 backend,

adding support for the SECONDARY selection, as it's both barely
specified and, like the PRIMARY, highly confusing for anybody who is not
well-versed in 20+ years of use of textual interfaces on the X Windows
System. Personally, I would have jettisoned the PRIMARY selection a long
time ago as well, but apparently a very vocal minority is still holding
tight to that particular Easter egg. Adding support for the even more
esoteric SECONDARY selection on the X11 backend when we're trying to
move the Linux world towards the more modern and less legacy-ridden
Wayland display system would be problematic to say the least, and an ill
fit for the majority of graphical user experiences in use these days.
Boy. I really dislike his arrogant sound. Already stumbled over
something similar on the net, obviously written by that same guy.
No kidding! Don't know what his issue is.
Primary selection for me is a major feature in GUI *and* shell.
Agreed. I use both the Ctrl+C and Middle-click extensively. Having
multiple clipboards that are easy and quick to use is fantastic!
Sometimes I need more in the buffer, which means one of my
multi-monitors usually has a never-saved text application open where I
dump tidbits for quick reuse.
LXER linked me to this article on additional clipboard managers recently.

I won't spoil it with personal biases as I am still working through the
list on my dev machine testing them out. There are some interesting
pro's to a few of them. If this is a need, give a few of them a try.
