AutoPaste not working on Hyprland 0.55

[aarushth]

I am on Fedora 44 running the latest Hyprland (v0.55) and I couldn't get auto paste to work despite setting up the input group/permissions and enabling autopaste in ~/.config/clipse/config.json as described in the README. I found this script as a workaround from an older issue but had to change
hyprctl dispatch sendshortcut "CTRL,V,"
to
hyprctl dispatch "hl.dsp.send_shortcut({ mods = 'CTRL+SHIFT', key = 'V' })"

because of hyprland's update to lua based configs, which leads me to believe its a similar issue preventing the autopaste from working

Same issue on Arch Linux, Hyprland version 0.55.4
Edit:
I came up with a simple solution:

-- Clipboard managers: clipse
hl.on("hyprland.start", function () hl.exec_cmd("clipse -listen") end)
hl.window_rule({ match = { class = "clipse" }, float = true, size = {622, 652}, stay_focused = true })
hl.bind("SUPER + V", hl.dsp.exec_cmd("wl-copy '' && kitty --class clipse -e clipse && wl-paste --no-newline | wl-copy --primary && if [[ \"$(wl-paste --no-newline)\" != \"\" ]]; then hyprctl dispatch \"hl.dsp.send_shortcut( { mods = 'SHIFT', key = 'Insert' })\"; fi"))

Which also syncs the two clipboards and deals with Ctrl+V/Ctrl+Shift+V nonsense.

I realized the issue was the fedora copr repo is not up to date. Cloning the git repo and building it myself made the autopaste work without any issues, and checking versions it is way ahead of what's on the copr repo. Presumably the autopaste feature was added in a newer version that has not been pushed to the copr repo yet.
