+Nvim has no direct connection to the system clipboard. Instead it depends on
+a |provider| which transparently uses shell commands to communicate with the
+system clipboard or any other clipboard "backend".

+the '+' and/or '*' registers explicitly): >
-Clipboard access is implicitly enabled if any of the following clipboard tools
-are found in your `$PATH`.
+ set clipboard+=unnamedplus

+See 'clipboard' for details and options.
+ *clipboard-tool*
+The presence of a working clipboard tool implicitly enables the '+' and '*'
+registers. Nvim looks for these clipboard tools, in order of priority:
+
+ - |g:clipboard|
+ - pbcopy/pbpaste (macOS)
- xclip
- xsel (newer alternative to xclip)
- - pbcopy/pbpaste (macOS)
- lemonade (for SSH) https://github.com/pocke/lemonade
- doitclient (for SSH) http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/doit/
-
-The presence of a suitable clipboard tool implicitly enables the '+' and '*'
-registers.

-If you want to ALWAYS use the clipboard for ALL operations (as opposed
-to interacting with the '+' and/or '*' registers explicitly), set the
-following option:
->
- set clipboard+=unnamedplus
-<
-See 'clipboard' for details and more options.
+ - win32yank (Windows)
+ - tmux (if $TMUX is set)
+
+ *g:clipboard*
+To configure a custom clipboard tool, set `g:clipboard` to a dictionary: >
+ let g:clipboard = {
+ \ 'name': 'myClipboard',
+ \ 'copy': {
+ \ '+': 'tmux load-buffer -',
+ \ '*': 'tmux load-buffer -',
+ \ },
+ \ 'paste': {
+ \ '+': 'tmux save-buffer -',
+ \ '*': 'tmux save-buffer -',
+ \ },
+ \ 'cache_enabled': 1,
+ \ }
+
+If `cache_enabled` is |TRUE| then when a selection is copied, Nvim will cache
+the selection until the copy command process dies. When pasting, if the copy
+process has not died, the cached selection is applied.
