Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/6daa721dc002437a91323f05d04ac2165e854d7b Author: tecis <[email protected]> Date: Mon May 18 20:40:37 2026 +0000 runtime(doc): INSTALL: "libwayland-dev" is required on Ubuntu for Wayland clipboard support In GNU/Linux distros without X11 and only depending on the Wayland Composer as a display server I could not find official documentation on how to compile VIM with clipbloard support. > This will become more relevant as common distros ship with Wayland only environments.
