Wayland support

[stevenxxiu]

I just used this library in a Btop PR to add clipboard support.

But I realized only X11 is supported. Could there be support for Wayland as well?

Hi there, just want to add my voice to this feature request. This library is amazing in making clipboard work across all platforms -- thank you very much for creating it. It would be incredible if it also worked on Wayland.

Maybe, we can use wl-clipboard as a reference.

Hi @Dark-Kernel, no, as it's GPL code and clip is MIT licensed.

@dacap Oh didn't noticed, thanks. Are you working on this?

I'm not working on this.

so we're not getting wayland support? the lib works fine, but it acts as in memory, since i cannot copy text from another app into my app.

In a near future I'll start working on this, I should migrate to a Wayland-distribution for testing (probably I'll start with a Ubuntu 25.10 VM).
