Feature request: Option to only use Primary selection from terminal windows

goldencut opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Version: Clipit 1.4.2

Issue description: When 'Primary (Selection)' is enabled in ClipIt, and user selects text in one window and wants to paste it in another window then if in the second window some text gets selected (some programs, web browsers in particular, have text entry fields with text in them, like "Enter search terms here..." etc) then the current clipboard that user wanted to paste gets replaced by this useless text ("Enter search terms here..." etc), because the text in text field (a search box, for example) gets automatically selected when user activates it.

Solution: Add an option for Primary Selection to only be captured from particular (eg shell/terminal) windows.

DO you have Auto paste turned on?

Hi, I tested with Auto paste ON and OFF and the result is same - whatever is selected in active window fills the copy buffer.
