Enum ClipboardError 

pub enum ClipboardError {
    Spawn(String, String),
    Exit(String, String),
    Empty,
    NotUtf8,
}

Errors from a clipboard-fallback round trip.

Variants

Spawn(String, String)

wtype or wl-paste could not be spawned (typically not installed). The daemon falls back silently — no fix happens, but the user can install wl-clipboard to enable it.

Exit(String, String)

The helper exited non-zero — usually means the protocol or the compositor refused the request.

Empty

wl-paste returned empty — the select-previous-word keystroke didn’t land (terminal, no-text-field, …).

NotUtf8

The clipboard contained non-UTF-8 bytes — we don’t try to correct image / PDF / etc. payloads.
