Clipboard-Managers: remove broken manager (#927)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The manager `cb` does not support Wayland. The version available in AUR
renders the entire desktop unusable by spawning invisible windows which
cause focus loss and repositioning of all windows every ~2 seconds. Does
not work with `wl-paste --watch` either.

`cb` does not automatically update the clipboard in the background. It is not
recommended to enable it either, as that makes the focused window flicker every
second.

## cb

Start by adding the following line to your `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf`

```ini
exec-once = cb
