  Description     : Copy&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'.

I'll maintain this under the Emacsen team umbrella.
