NotImplementedError: ImageGrab.grabclipboard() is macOS and Windows only

[oxio2]

My img-paste.lua config file inside lazyvim configs

return {
  -- add symbols-outline
  {
    "TobinPalmer/pastify.nvim",
    config = function()
      require("pastify").setup({
        opts = {
          absolute_path = false, -- use absolute or relative path to the working directory
          apikey = "", -- Api key, required for online saving
          local_path = "/assets/imgs/", -- The path to put local files in, ex ~/Projects/<name>/assets/images/<imgname>.png
          save = "local", -- Either 'local' or 'online'
        },
        ft = { -- Custom snippets for different filetypes, will replace $IMG$ with the image url
          html = '<img src="$IMG$" alt="">',
          markdown = "![]($IMG$)",
          tex = [[\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{$IMG$}]],
        },
      })
    end,
  },
}

NotImplementedError: ImageGrab.grabclipboard() is macOS and Windows only

It looks like the functionality only works on macOS and Windows, is this an error associated with my machine/configs or does the plugin not support linux at all? If this is the case, will the plugin support linux in the future?

[TobinPalmer]

Probably not in the future sorry, I will add this to the readme that it is only for macOS and Windows sorry.

As per the docs and the github - The ImageGrab function should be supported on linux so long as xclip or wl-paste is isntalled

[TobinPalmer]

@oxio2 if you’d like to retry ensuring you have xclip or wl-paste installed that would be great.
