Problems with wl-copy or clipboards in general... works fine in Sway, what am I doing wrong?

[Froidoh]

Hello there!

I have the following problem that plagues my otherwise smooth usage of Niri and makes it very cumbersome to do work in it:

I can't copy passwords from passwordstore to e.g. chrome

In sway I do

pass my/store/password -c

and it's then in the clipboard and I can use it in any application, no matter if it's xorg or wayland.

But in niri I can't for the life of it paste it in chromium (or anywhere for that matter)

I can actually only use it in the very same terminal.

E.g. if I get my ssh passwords, I can do that in the same wezterm process/window and then paste it to ssh-add. But I can't copy and do it on another wezterm window.

It's driving me nuts.
I know under Linux there are multiple clipboards, but I can't seem to find what I configured differently in sway (which I used for many years only to fall in love with niri)

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Looks like pass might not be using wl-copy at all. Try setting this environment variable to see if it helps: PASSWORD_STORE_X_SELECTION=clipboard

Interesting, I don't need this for sway and even if I do

| wl-copy

it doesn't work to copy into chromium... maybe it starts in xsatellite?! Need to check :(
