automatically, users will have to set the flag 256 of the

+\fBED\fP flags if and only if their terminal emulator is properly

the \fISetSelection\fP and \fIGetSelection\fP window operations.

If native clipboard support is unavailable, users may
still fall back to using external tools like \fBxclip\fP(1)
