Floating menu?

[tmpm697]

I like this app on macos to manage clipboard: https://maccy.app/

it has floating window appears right under cursor for user to select clipboard.

in most case we might want a fix top/bottom to select clipboard but i find clipboard menu appears under cursor helps a lot to quick select and paste text.

can this app make this behavior happens?

This could only be possible under X11, as for now bemenu does not have floating windows near cursor

would love to have this, what wayland prevent it to be a real stuff?

Wayland would require custom protocol for this use-case and for it to be implemented by compositors. Might be possible to hack it with transparent full screen surface and subsurface for the menu perhaps.

sound like a bad idea, fake transparent and other thing can probably give some surprising stuffs.

hope someone will step in to extend wayland protocol for this to be real :)
