Waypipe

Last updated:

Reference:gitlab.freedesktop.org

Usage

shell

waypipe OPTIONS MODE

Option	Description
`--display`	Set the `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` name. Random if not set.

Usually used with ssh.

When keeping a running session (zellij) and reconnecting to it, using the same WAYLAND_DISPLAY is necessary to keep clipboard working.

shell

waypipe --display wayland-ssh ssh user@host

Install the requirements:

shell

brew install meson lz4 wayland wayland-protocols

Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so waypipe works:

shell

set -xg LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/wayland/1.20.0/lib

Note: To use vim's clipboard in the remote machine install wl-clipboard too.
