Change clipmenud to only copy things that have been ctrl +c'ed instead of just being selected #183

Title probably sounds confusing but clipmenud will put anything into line_cache that has been selected with the mouse but hasn't had CTRL+C been performed on it. So any selection (even accidental) gets copied to the clipboard which can be annoying. If it was only put into the clipmenu clipboard when ctrl+c occurs I think that would be better. I've also noticed that in neovim when you copy somethings it will appear twice in the line_cache file, not a big issue as in dmenu it only shows up once.

That's nothing to do with clipmenu, that's just how the X PRIMARY clipboard works.

Use CM_SELECTIONS=clipboard if you don't want the primary clipboard to be managed by clipmenu.
