# What About Sync for Wayland on Linux?

I like using Gnome on Wayland. Sadly, there's no easy way to listen for changes made in the clipboard. We have [an option](https://github.com/chmouel/clipman) which requires wlr-data-control, something that is available on Sway VM but not on Gnome. So rather than being impartial, here are ways you can make universal clipboard more acessible for yourself:

* Center is all [APIs under the hood](https://guide-on.gitbook.io/telltail/centers-apis). You can bind keyboard shortcuts to invoke these APIs and a tool like [wl-clipboard](https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard) to manipulate your OS' clipboard.
* The command `telltail install sync` is soft-guarded to check for X11. If you provide `XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11` as environment variable and temporarily install `xsel` on your machine, then Sync would install. The benefit with this is that you would be able to paste using Ctrl+V and you would only have to care of binding a keyboard shortcut to send text to Telltail.
