I have emacs running on machine A. I then connect to emacs via a terminal (over SSH) from machine B.
Question: From Machine B, how do I copy text to Machine B's clipboard to paste it, i.e., into a browser?

What's your environment (operating system, desktop manager if applies) and what GUI terminal are you using (xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal, konsole...)? – Felipe Lema May 28 '18 at 15:30

Linux with i3 window manager + gnome terminal. – George May 28 '18 at 16:13

If I'm understanding correctly, you want to execute a command in an emacs session in A to have same text in B's clipboard. For this, you'll probably need to reverse connect somehow and then use something like `xclip` (with the correct `DISPLAY` variable). – Felipe Lema May 28 '18 at 18:25
