xclip is an application that manages the clipboard, and needs to be installed.

To save something on the clipboard: echo asdf | xclip -i

To extract it: xclip -o

There are 3 buffers, primary (saves highlighted text), clipboard (copied text) and secondary (auxiliar). We can extract from each of them with the selector "p", "c" or "s": xclip -o -selection p (o s o c)
