Pretty sure most of you already know this but for those who don’t: you have two clipboards in Linux. One is the traditional clipboard where you copy with control c and paste with control v. The other one is when you highlight text and use the mouse middle click to paste text.

    On my arch install with hyperland, clip boards have been by far the hardest thing to setup. I finally got a basic clipboard manger working using clipman and wofi. But tbh I don’t really understand how that’s working.

    My main issues though have been trying to copy from one with vim open to other terminal with vim. Copying from vim elsewhere using y(yank) works fine. Copying elsewhere into vim works great. But vim to vim will not work for me.

    Also trying to find a way to make copying text out of a terminal running tmux not so overly complex and tedious.

        I have tmux-thumbs, but only been able to use it a few times. Apparently most of what I need to copy is not ip’s and URLs. But this tmux-yank looks like what I’m looking for. I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
