Use x11-misc/xclip: xclip -in filename_with_paste Add this script to you XFCE autostart. This can be done either by: 1) GUI: Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/preferences#application_autostart 2) Custom run hook: Edit ~/.config/xfce4/xinitrc properly (call xclip, then default xfce4 xinitrc) https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/267238 Best regards, Andrew Savchenko
