Review: emacs-xclip 1.11.1-1

Package Information

DescriptionCopy&paste GUI clipboard from text terminal

This package allows Emacs to copy to and paste from the GUI clipboard when running in text terminal.

It can use external command-line tools for that, which you may need to install in order for the package to work. More specifically, it can use the following tools: - Under X11: `xclip' or `xsel' (https://xclip.sourceforge.net and https://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/ respectively). - MacOS: `pbpaste/pbcopy' - Cygwin: `getclip/putclip' - Under Wayland: `wl-clipboard' (https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard) - Termux: `termux-clipboard-get/set' - Emacs: It can also use Emacs's built-in GUI support to talk to the GUI. This requires an Emacs built with GUI support. It uses `make-frame-on-display' which has been tested to work under X11, but it's not known whether it works under MacOS or Windows.

To use, just add (xclip-mode 1) to your ~/.emacs or do `M-x clip-mode' after which the usual kill/yank commands will use the GUI selections according to `select-enable-clipboard/primary'.
