clipboard synchronization between X11 and gnome apps
20 Feb 2012
By default X11 powered systems have at least two different clipboards which may cause confusion sometimes 😖
There is no way to disable/delete them, so the next best solution is to synchronizate them. Autocutsel is a free cli utility who can do this. It works by adding it to the ~/.xsession file or any other initialization file your windows system execute:
$ autocutsel -fork #sync between X and Gnome apps $ autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork #sync between Gnome apps and X
Happy copy/pasting ☻
