;;; clipboard.el --- Working with X11's pasteboard -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>

;;; Commentary:
;; Simple functions for copying and pasting.
;;
;; Integrate with bburns/clipmon so that System Clipboard can integrate with
;; Emacs's kill-ring.
;;
;; Wish list:
;; - Create an Emacs integration with github.com/cdown/clipmenud.
