I'm using sway and I still can do that with urxvt
To be fair, I would not expect someone using a wayland WM and urxvt to use the mouse to copy-paste.
I understand. I'm not using sway and urxvt as someone more skilled would do. I've Made this config some years ago to try but nowadays I'm not doing computer things anymore but I've kept this config because it's light, fast and it's simply working.
