Clipboard pasting does not work on Wayland

I have a password that's very hard to type so I always copy it from my password manager, but that doesn't work on Wayland sadly. On X11 however this works fine.

Using the clipboard crate https://github.com/aweinstock314/rust-clipboard which supports various clipboards, including X11, but not Wayland. Looking at their repo, there is an open pull request to add Wayland: aweinstock314/rust-clipboard#64 - from 2019 - project inactive? The comments mention an alternate implementation: https://github.com/chrisduerr/rust-clipboard. And there's another different open pull request for wl-clipboard-rs aweinstock314/rust-clipboard#65 but:

…it seems like this repo may have been abandoned, so I'm not sure what the best path forward is. I would love to see this make it back into crates.io

Their feature request issue is aweinstock314/rust-clipboard#34

I guess we could try to switch to one of the forks with Wayland support (or find an actively maintained alternative clipboard crate, if there is one)

I use Wayland too and pasting works just fine. @PureTryOut can you confirm you're still having this issue?

I don't use Stevenarella anymore but Leafish instead. If it works for you guys I'd consider it fixed.
