I agree. I was hoping that someone, maybe Dan Sebald, can find a
clever way to make "clipboard" act like a filetype in the selection widget.

I don't know.

Petr Mikulik mentioned that there is an undocumented command
"screendump".  I did not know about this.  If "screendump" works
on your system, then I would expect that you can bind it to whatever
key you like using the "bind" command.

    bind "ctrl-c" "screendump"

But right now I think this command must only exist for Windows.
