How do I copy something to the system clipboard #28

Closed hovsater closed 4 years ago

For instance, if I copy a line using M-k, how do I get the selection into my system clipboard? Right now I'm doing M-e echo "C-u" | pbcopy.

I added an example Lua script which does this:

(Can replace xclip with pbcopy.)
