Omarchy Clipboard, Screenshots & Recording on Wayland
Master Omarchy Wayland clipboard history, text extraction, screenshots, screen recording, and unified copy-paste fixes.
Omarchyโs clipboard on Hyprland merges Wayland + X11, plus history and OCR extras.
Unified clipboard & history
- Copy in Neovim โ paste in Chromium โ works (Wayland+ X11 mirror).
- History:
Super+Vโ pick. OrSuper+Spaceโ Clipboard.
Config: ~/.config/hypr/clipboard.conf uses wl-clipboard + cliphist. Fix for VMware XWayland die: daemon stops syncing; restart after adding XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR=1.
Clear: cliphist wipe.
Text extraction & dictation
Select region โ OCR to clipboard:
omarchy capture text # or Super+? โ Text Extract
Dictation (if enabled): Super+? โ Dictate โ uses local Whisper model.
Screenshots & recording
omarchy capture screenshot # region
omarchy capture screenshot window # active window
omarchy capture recording # screen recording via wf-recorder / OBS
Saves to ~/Pictures/Screenshots/ (configurable ~/.config/omarchy/capture). Super+Shift+S quick region copy.
Recording includes audio from default sink; pick mic in top bar sound widget.
Toggles, idle, screensaver
# Toggle mic/camera/mute quickly
Super+Shift+M # mic toggle
# Idle
hypridle # dims โ locks โ suspends per ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf
Customize idle timeouts in Toggles manual; disable during gaming via gamemode script.
Wayland gotcha: screen sharing in Zoom/Chrome must share a window (portal), not full screen, or youโll get black.
