Actually not. I may need help for this issue.
I cannot seem to have the app:

-Not show any UI at all, nor open/close any, only notifications
-Do actual picking AND copying to clipboard

at the same time
It will either not start picking,
not copy,
or show an UI
Or quit the UI if user had a window open. Which also is broken

Expected is:
-Option is separate from UI, does its own thing
-Starting the app via the option does not start any UI, does not close any UI, does not impede UI

-Starting the app via the option does not start any UI, does not close any UI, does not impede UI

This should be possible if you use GLib.Application.hold() and GLib.Application.release(). However, I suppose copy & paste does not work without UI because apps does not seem to be allowed to access to the clipboard if they have no focused window on Wayland: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1874#note_509304

Okay. That is fair.
I guess if the window shows only for the picking then quits, is fair. It allows people to pick from history
And no need for notifications if theres the window.
