So it seems xsel and xclip are not even installed by default anymore for some strange reason.
Here is what I did to test, after opening a terminal:
which xsel
# nothing found
#installed xclip and xsel tools
sudo pacman -S xclip xsel
# made sure xsel worked now
echo "hello" | xsel -ib
Then opened my favourite editor and hit paste:
emacs junk.txt
And sure enough "hello" appeared.
So it appears you can get this to work but you just need to install xclip and xsel if you are running X11 and not wayland at least on a recent Linux like Arch or Manjaro
