Bug Description

When using flameshot on KDE Wayland, copy to clipboard, either with Ctrl+C or the copy to clipboard icon in flameshot, does not work.

This bug report seems to be hat I see: https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/2848

Suggested solution is to recompile flameshot with -DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=true
This flag works even if flameshot runs under X11, so it seems there is no drawback.

I guess it should be included in the package...

Latest version in 23.04 still does not support copy /paste in Wayland.

It seems it's a compile option away...

This script works by automating a local modification of compile options:

In Mantic it's still a critical issue.
Because a screenshot tool that does not copy anything is not useful. :-)
Using X11 all is ok.

Additionally the snap version is atm not installable because of a dependency issue (kde-*).
