clipmon copied to clipboard

not working with emacs-nox?

Hello, I'm trying to use clipmon to insert system clipboard in emacs (I run it from my terminal emulator, not with X)

I installed it, and added to my .emacs config the following

(add-to-list 'after-init-hook 'clipmon-mode-start)
(setq clipmon-timer-interval 1)       ; check system clipboard every n secs

I restarted emacs, clipmon-mode is enabled, I see Clipboard monitor started - watching system clipboard, adding changes to kill ring. in `Messages but when I copy something into the system clipboard, nothing is added to the emacs kill-ring, even waiting more than the interval. If I kill or copy something my system clipboard is not updated. (I don't understand if this feature exists, but it's my main objective for this issue)

I used to use the primary selection to get text copied from/to emacs, but it's limiting because I can copy from emacs only what's fully visible in my screen, and I have to disable global-display-line-numbers-mode and reenable it each time, so I just use cat in another terminal to copy it from there if it's the case.

Thanks.
