The last xsel release was in 2008. Since then, a number of bugs have been fixed. For example, pasting a large chunk of text (>4000 chars) into chrome would cause the current tab to hang indefinitely. A couple examples in the wild: kfish/xsel#14 kfish/xsel#13 kfish/xsel#16 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=515401 electron/electron#3116 neovim/neovim#4719

When I compile from source at https://github.com/kfish/xsel/tree/9674445d8ea9f60f4d1a154be6fdb12e7af8f0c6 and do:
The output contains only the first 4k characters.
On the other hand, if I do ctrl + v on GUI apps like Firefox, I get all the characters.
Why this limitation? I saw the 4000 constant in the source:
but wasn't patient enough to deduce the rest :-)
Why not increase that limit a bit more?
