Hello there, anyone got any luck sending some selection from terminal to clipboard? Say I want to copy/paste some output of the terminal app to another application example a browser. Selecting things in the terminal and getting the copy to clipboard option is not showing up or I dont know how to …

You have to install wl-clipboard from bullseye repository: https://packages.debian.org/de/bullseye/wl-clipboard I tested it in Qemu with: echo “123xcv” | wl-copy The version in the normal pureos repository doesn’t work for me. But I haven’t tried the version 2.0.0 from here yet: http://repo.pu…

Long pressing (not on the keyboard) brings up the context menu without having to switch between three different layouts.

It brings up the “paste / select all” menu. Then you choose “select all” … and now? Ctrl C / V does not work (for me). Hence - how to copy it. Clicking again helps nothing and the clipboard shows empty. If you don’t need it of have an easier way, just don’t use it. :woman_shrugging:

Then in the keyboard, tap Menu to see copy, paste, cut, delete, etc. Or use the little dialog box with symbols that pops up ov…

If I do a long press in the browser on the text of your answer, I cant select anything. A menu pops up which me also does not select any item of its list. Just give it a shot on my text here in the browser.

Issues with the on screen keyboard Librem 5

Open Squeekboard (aka keyboard). Click on the globe key. Switch to Terminal view. Click on the >_ key. Tab is next to Esc key. P.S. Menu key opens copy/paste options. P.P.S.

Edit: Squeekboard languages: Squeekboard release 1.10.0 - #5 by dcz (That will also take you to the Settings, where you could just select more languages directly in the Regions & Langu…
