Enum arboard::LinuxClipboardKind

pub enum LinuxClipboardKind {
    Clipboard,
    Primary,
    Secondary,
}

Clipboard selection

Linux has a concept of clipboard “selections” which tend to be used in different contexts. This enum provides a way to get/set to a specific clipboard (the default Clipboard being used for the common platform API). You can choose which clipboard to use with GetExtLinux::clipboard and SetExtLinux::clipboard.

See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-0.1.txt for a better description of the different clipboards.

Variants

Clipboard

Typically used selection for explicit cut/copy/paste actions (ie. windows/macos like clipboard behavior)

Primary

Typically used for mouse selections and/or currently selected text. Accessible via middle mouse click.

On Wayland, this may not be available for all systems (requires a compositor supporting version 2 or above) and operations using this will return an error if unsupported.

Secondary

The secondary clipboard is rarely used but theoretically available on X11.

On Wayland, this is not be available and operations using this variant will return an error.
