Description
Version: 0.3.0-beta.2
Platform: Linux (Vulkan/Wayland)
On Wayland, arboard cannot use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to interact with the clipboard unless the `wayland-data-control` feature is enabled.
I think that adding the `wayland-data-control` feature by default in Cargo.toml can solve this problem.
Alternatively, we could conditionally enable this feature only when targeting Wayland
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Run Blitz on a pure Wayland session (no XWayland).
2. Try to copy (Ctrl+C) text from an external app and paste (Ctrl+V) into Blitz.
3. Or try to copy from Blitz and paste elsewhere.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with Cargo.toml and inspect how Blitz depends on arboard and its Wayland features. Reproduce the issue in a pure Wayland session using the listed copy and paste steps, then verify that clipboard interaction works without manually enabling the feature.
