Clipboard should also be transferred

Now the primary selection (created by marking, and pasted using the middle mouse button) is transferred to all screens (created using Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X, and pasted using Ctrl+V), but not the clipboard selection, using xclip terminology from man xclip. I think also the clipboard selection should be transferred to all screens. The two selections should still be separated since it is useful with two clipboards.

This is related to #7, but is a request to add a feature.

Unfortunately, the project is dormant, so this will have to wait until a new maintainer steps in.

FYI: I get around this by using kde connect.

For if a lost soul lands in this issue report, I came out with a far-from-perfect trick which consists on using a clipboard manager which merges clipboards on both ends (i use Clipit), which at least permits using Ctrl-C to copy on one side and Shift-Insert on the other to paste.
