• still won’t allow copy/paste with CLI programs without using an extra, implementation-specific, piece of software

    What are you referring to here? I haven’t noticed anything out of place on KDE regarding copy/paste…

      vim can’t use the kde/wayland clipboard to copy/past properly, you have to script it through something. I’ve read it’s related to non foreground app not being able to manipulate the clipboard or something close to that, which a CLI app will never be.

      There are “solutions”, mostly overriding vim behavior to write/read from that dedicated program, though. It’s not a show stopper, but not every software allow this kind of flexibility.
