If any of you are using Helix Editor and wondering why copying/pasting from the system clipboard (alt+shift+y) isn’t working as it should, make sure you have wl-clipboard installed if you’re running Wayland.
(You’re running Wayland if your Linux distribution is Fedora or Ubuntu or Suse, etc.)
If running Fedora Silverblue-esque distributions:
rpm-ostree install wl-clipboard
(This includes Universal Blue, it’s not available under brew, you have to layer it.)
