After a certain upgrade of hyprland, I can no longer copy&paste across Wayland & XWayland apps, which is very annoying.
The relatied issue: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/6132
Maybe fixed in: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/6086
According to 6132 issue, some provide a walk around. I tailored it to adapt it to my system.
Create a shell in ~ directory, named clipsync.sh
