Neovim don't find a clipboard tool

Post by tasmo »

Hello,

I recently installed Neovim on my Linux Mint Silvia 18.3 Mate System. Running the Neovim :checkhealth command says, it does't find a clipboard tool. So copy paste from the system clipboard and primary board don't work. How can I find out the clipboard tool used by my system.
If there is a termial-tool to do so, it would be me favoured choice.

Thanks

tasmo

For me neovim says
OK: Clipboard tool found: xsel
I would have to be mistaken if xsel weren't installed by default, so perhaps something is up for you, but if indeed you do not have it then sudo apt-get install xsel should do.
