Heh, so there's some Wayland clipboard buffer limit.
But that reminds me: is there any *standard* tool to programmatically feed into the clipboard?
I occasionally do things like
git shortlog A..B | xsel
in order to then paste it into some browser window or other.
And sure, that works well. But I do it seldom enough that I never remember the command, and half the time it's not even installed because I've switched machines or something, and xsel is always some add-on.
What's the thing "real" X people do/use?
