    Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a standalone compositor just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.

      Correct, yet I personally don’t find it too useful and sometimes harmful when dealing with, for example, password managers

        I’ve added a keybind for deleting history, but it’d be great to have a way to specify short lived clipboard entries. But this might also be one of those standards that no one implements.
