While not an X selection, tmux has a copy mode accessible via prefix-[ ( prefix is Ctrl + B by default). I don't know Emacs or Screen, so I'll go over the other three. Some of the ways that have been mentioned include (I think) tmux, Screen, Vim, Emacs, and the shell.
To get your clipboard content, just type: pbpaste | "any-command-you-need-here" The & is a binary AND if a then b, hence if you have xclip then the aliases will be set. In my case, as I use Z shell ( zsh), I have this in my aliases file: (( $+commands )) &. You can also create aliases to get and write on the clipboard, allowing you to use "pbcopy" and "pbpaste" as if you where on Mac. The teecommand forks your command allowing you to "pipe its content" and see the result on standard output "stdout". Bash replaces each with the path to a file descriptor which is connected to the standard input of the program within the parentheses. In my case, I would like to paste content on the clipboard and also to see what is been pasted there, so I used also the tee command with a file descriptor: echo "just a test" | tee >(xclip -i -selection clipboard)
