Aka the equivalent of xclip -o -selection primary, not xclip -o -selection clipboard. primary is selection, clipboard is Ctrl-C usually.

That's mac. xclip is specifically Linux, X11. – Reactormonk Jun 17 '18 at 15:33
There are the variables select-enable-clipboard and select-enable-primary. – Tobias Jun 18 '18 at 13:20
