Dear @printfn,
could you be so kind to generate .exe for the rest of us,
ordinary Windows 7 x64 users, without compiler?

Hi, thanks for the program.

It doesn't work on Linux because of the reasons explained in copypasta_ext (link):

A clipboard library providing useful extensions for the copypasta library.

I had a growing annoyance with copypasta, because the clipboard is cleared on the Linux/X11 platform when your application exits as per X11 design. The crate maintainer didn't want to implement workarounds (for valid reasons). This copypasta-ext crate provides additional clipboard contexts that solve this, along with a few other additions.

If you're willing to fix it, then switching to copypasta_ext and using its copypasta_ext::x11_fork::ClipboardContext is sufficient (doc):

use copypasta_ext::prelude::*;
use copypasta_ext::x11_fork::ClipboardContext;

let mut ctx = ClipboardContext::new()?;

Alternative is to use

// no imports needed
let mut ctx = copypasta_ext::try_context().unwrap("failed to get clipboard context);

but it may use other binaries like xsel or wl-copy under the hood.
