title: Which clipboard Autokey stores the data with "clipboard.get_selection()"
body: <p>Autokey function, <code>text = clipboard.get_selection()</code>, which clipboard is the selected data is stored?</p>
  <p>I am using Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon with Python 3.6. I am searching for the <strong>clipboard storage</strong> of Autokey's (Python 3) function, <code>text = clipboard.get_selection()</code>.</p>
  <p>I assume that it is stored in one of the X clipboard's three clipboards, but none of the Gnome compatible clipboard viewers display it.</p>
  <p>I need to know how to refer to the particular clipboard in an Autokey, (or Python), script, to view the data before and after it is being altered by a script.</p>
  <p>Paste this code in an Autokey3 keyboard macro. (script) and use any key definition to activate it.</p>
  <p>In Linux (or any X11 app), the clipboard owner process must be running to # be able to paste the clipboard contents?</p>
  <p>Select any text.</p>
  <pre><code>import time
  import subprocess
  import sys
  
  t_xt = &quot;&quot;
  keyboard.send_keys(&quot;&lt;ctrl&gt;+a&quot;)   #  select all
  time.sleep(.3)                   #  delay of .3 of a second
  t_xt = clipboard.get_selection    #  place selection in clipboard
  
  time.sleep(.3)
  
  keyboard.send_keys(t_xt)         #  retrieves the t_xt I want to know where this is stored and how I can refer it in an Autokey script?
  keyboard.send_keys(&quot;&lt;ctrl&gt;+a&quot;) #  This pastes the contents of a different clipboard.
  
  sys.exit()
  </code></pre>
