Johannes Altmanninger 7a59540517 docs: use :doc: role when referencing entire pages
No need to define "cmd-foo" anchors; use :doc:`foo <cmds/foo>`
instead. If we want "cmd-foo" but it should be tested.

fish_clipboard_copy - copy text to the system's clipboard
==============================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
fish_clipboard_copy
foo | fish_clipboard_copy
Description
-----------
The ``fish_clipboard_copy`` function copies text to the system clipboard.
If stdin is not a terminal (see :doc:`isatty <isatty>`), it will read all input from there and copy it. If it is, it will use the current commandline, or the current selection if there is one.
It is bound to :kbd:`ctrl-x` by default.
``fish_clipboard_copy`` works by calling a system-specific backend. If it doesn't appear to work you may need to install yours.
Currently supported are:
- ``pbcopy``
- ``wl-copy`` using wayland
- ``xsel`` and ``xclip`` for X11
- ``clip.exe`` on Windows.
- The :ref:`OSC 52 clipboard sequence <term-compat-osc-52>`, which your terminal might support

- :doc:`fish_clipboard_paste` which does the inverse.
