# NAME

clipboard\_to\_primary - sync XA\_CLIPBOARD to XA\_SELECTION X11 buffers

# SYNOPSIS

    clipboard_to_primary [OPTIONS]

# DESCRIPTION

I rarely use any gui application, the exception being firefox with

tridactyl. For some reason you can't paste from the PRIMARY buffer in

firefox/tridactyl without using the mouse (and at times that doesn't

work either). This solves this issue by syncing the CLIPBOARD buffer

with the content of the PRIMARY selection so you can use Shift+Insert to

paste in gui applications as well.

The clipboard buffer to use is \*\*hardcoded\*\* in the gtk source:
