X11-based copy-paste

[sidorares]

there should be relatively easy to implement X11-based copy/paste using node-x11 . This one also may be helpful: https://github.com/Benvie/node-clipboard (it uses node-ffi )

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have to admit the X11 internals are a bit over my head. Mind pointing out where to start? or providing some examples?

I'll try to wrap all this and expose simple copy()/paste(str)
