CLUSTER X11-CLIPBOARD-WAYLAND · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-01-08

Clipboard sync across display servers

This cluster comprises utilities that synchronize clipboard content across X11, Wayland, and VM host-guest boundaries, addressing gaps in copy-paste interoperability. Dated entries appear sporadically from January 2019 through July 2026, with no discernible continuous pattern, just isolated releases. Traction leaders are xwayclip, qemu-macos-clipboard-bridge, and open-vm-tools-clipway, each with 0 stars, indicating no standout popularity.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
