Could you please try the following, and let's see whether this would solve your
issue:
- Build Zathura from the 'develop' branch, after pulling the latest
changes.
- Put the following line in your ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc:
set selection-clipboard clipboard
- Open some pdf with Zathura, select some text, and paste it using
Ctrl-v, and see whether pasting still doesn't work.
- Repeat the same 2 steps with the configuration in zathurarc changed
to:
set selection-clipboard primary
, and with using Shift-Insert for pasting instead of Ctrl-v
If 'primary' doens't work, but 'clipboard' does, then you have to stick with
the 'clipboard' option and pasting with Ctrl-v. Then, we can conclude that the
PRIMARY X clipboard has troubles working on some systems (including mine).
