i apologize if i'm doing something wrong, this is the first time i
participate in a mailing list


there's the -o flag in wl-copy that makes it forget the contents of the
clipboard after the first paste. i think this is a very cool feature. i
couldn't find this feature in xclip, so this patch is unlikely to be
merged due to inconsitency with the X11 version, but i'm posting it
anyway just to let you know of the existence of this feature

okay, so here's the patch (it's very simple).
