I wrote a small snippet that enables clipboard integration in terminal Emacs using just native system tools (system tools, not emacs 3rd party packages), (mainly for my emacs-solo config), this means OF COURSE you should use xclip.el or clipetty instead, this is hacky ![]()
If not for anything else, read if you’re curious on learning a bit on emacs lisp and some internals, check it out, it supports:
macOS: pbcopy/pbpaste
WSL: clip.exe,powershell.exe(I’d love some testers here, my VM wasn’t that much consistent).
Wayland: wl-copy,wl-paste
X11: xclip
It wires into interprogram-cut-function and interprogram-paste-function.
Would love feedback or to hear about other lightweight clipboard setups you use!
