Hi Rostislav, On 2023-09-27 10:54, Rostislav Svoboda wrote: > + (synopsis "Manipulate X selection, i.e. clipboard from the > command line") I changed this to ‘and/or’, since ‘i.e.’ would imply that the selection and clipboard are the same. While xsel does also support the clipboard, it won't touch it by default unless you explicitly pass the ‘--clipboard’ option. Only the (primary) ‘--selection’ is the default. After all, it's xsel, not xclip. I also added the modified fields to the commit message like so: * gnu/packages/xdisorg.scm (xsel)[synopsis, description]: … and pushed to master as 4528fd6bbeed097d7c6871dbc5268502444755cd. Thanks!
