Hi there! I would like to start a discussion about the need of a protocol for clipboard management in Wayland. As far as I know, the current approach for clipboard managers and similar apps requires them to be implemented as part of the compositor. This is of course a limitation for third party clipboard managers and apps like KDE Connect, which I maintain.
For some context, KDE Connect is a service that bridges your smartphone and your computers together, with features like wireless file transfers, shared notifications, or a shared clipboard across devices (on X11). For the clipboard synchronization in KDE Connect to work on Wayland, we need a way to: - Change the contents of the clipboard. - Get notified about the contents of the clipboard when it changes. I think our needs are very similar to those of clipboard managers, so probably one single protocol could address both necessities. What do you think? Should I make a protocol proposal for this use case? Is there any similar use case that I'm overlooking? Albert
