Enable the feature on so ekphos can interact with the system clipboard on Wayland compositors (niri, sway, Hyprland, etc.). already supports Wayland through an optional backend — this just turns it on at compile time. No Rust code changes needed. On Linux, tries Wayland first and falls back to X11 automatically.

waylandfeature onclipboard-rsso ekphos can interact with the system clipboard on Wayland compositors (niri, sway, Hyprland, etc.).Problem
On Wayland-only sessions, ekphos cannot read from or write to the system clipboard. The internal vim-register clipboard still works, but
"+y/"+pare broken.Root cause
clipboard-rshas Wayland support via an optionalwl-clipboard-rsbackend, hidden behind thewaylandfeature flag. ekphos'sCargo.tomlusesclipboard-rs = "0.3"without enabling this feature, so the binary is compiled with only X11 clipboard support.Fix
Cargo.toml:clipboard-rs = "0.3"→clipboard-rs = { version = "0.3", features = ["wayland"] }Cargo.lock: auto-updated bycargo update -p clipboard-rs(bumps 0.3.1→0.3.4, pulls inwl-clipboard-rsand wayland dependency chain)No Rust source code changes required —
ClipboardContext::new()already tries Wayland first and falls back to X11 automatically.Testing
Tested on NixOS with niri (Wayland-only compositor). Copy/paste between ekphos and system clipboard works correctly.
