#### Clipboard Persistence
By default, when you copy something and close the source application, Wayland
clears the clipboard. Stash can optionally keep the clipboard contents available
after the source closes using the `--persist` flag.
```bash
stash watch --persist
```
When enabled, Stash will fork a background process to serve the clipboard
contents, keeping them available even after the original application exits.
> [!NOTE]
> This feature is **opt-in** and disabled by default, as it may not be desirable
> for all users and can leave clipboard data in memory longer than expected. You
> must start the `stash watch` daemon with `--persist` for clipboard
> persistence.
