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?
