Autopaste writes "v" instead of the selected text/image

[hugoboissiere]

I'm on arch with KDE Plasma + wayland. In my config.json, i have

    "autoPaste": {
        "enabled": true,
        "keybind": "ctrl+shift+v",
        "buffer": 1000
    },

And i'm running clipse by having konsole -e clipse -auto-paste binded to meta + v (klipper is disabled)

Whenever i select something from clipse, either from clicking or using enter, instead of pasting it, it waits 1s (from the buffer) then just types "v". the item is selected, so i can paste it manually. I tried running clipse with just konsole -e clipse binded to no avail.
I did do

sudo groupadd input
sudo usermod -aG input <username>
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules --> add 'KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660"'
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
sudo udevadm trigger

And restarted my pc, which didn't change anything. Am i missing something? apart from that i'm really enjoying clipse, but idk what's wrong with my autopaste feature.

I think the readme has an error in the Wayland section. The udev rule is missing OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput", so the udev rule file should look like this:

KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"

Then restart your computer and try again.

I think you should just open clipse with konsole -e clipse and select an entry to auto-paste by clicking or pressing enter. It works for me on Arch + Wayland on clipse v1.2.1 in my browser and other applications, but not in my kitty terminal. I'm not sure what the auto-paste keybind does because it doesn't seem to do anything for me.

i've replaced the content of my 99-uinput.rules file with:
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input", OPTIONS+="static_node=uinput"
as you said, and rebooted. Also changed the buffer back to 100 and the keybind to ctrl+v. Now, whenever i press meta v, a terminal appears, nothing is in it, then it writes v in said terminal and it closes

So the steps I use are:

1. Press keybind that opens a terminal running clipse.
2. Choose an entry and press enter.
3. Make sure your cursor is focused on the input you want to auto-paste in (e.g. the url bar of a browser) before the buffer interval.
4. Should auto-paste in focused input area.

I used a buffer of 1000 (1 second) to give myself time to click on the input area I want to auto-paste in.
