Automatic clipboard wiping
--------------------------
By default data pasted into a qube will remain there until user copies something else or restarts the qube. It's possible to make the `qubes-gui` process inside a qube wipe the clipboard automatically after a minute from the last paste operation. This helps protect users from accidentally pasting the old content of the clipboard like a password in the wrong place like a browser search bar. Since qubes don't share the same clipboard, software like KeePassXC isn't able to automatically wipe the clipboard of other qubes.
To enable automatic wiping of the clipboard after a minute use `qvm-service`:
~~~
qvm-service --enable VMNAME gui-agent-clipboard-wipe
