This proposal fix a very basic use case in linux. When I capture a screenshot
pyclip
(CTRL+PrtScr or SHIFT+CTRL+PrtScr in gnome), the data is in the clipboard butpyclip
try to paste it as STRING and fail. Instead I try to parse the available targets and select the best one if it couldn't be pasted as plain/text.This is original issue
and after my patch
for tests, It's hard to set real clipboard "targets" programmatically, so I simply mocked the subprocess call and check the paste command suprocess' arguments.
