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

I had already checked xsel and it was installed. But xclip wasn't. I've installed it and tried your little 'hello' test and sure enough it goes to the clipboard for pasting.
But that hasn't made any difference to the InsertImageSVG plugin in my linux. Its 'Copy' function does nothing. 'Insert' works fine and I can copy with Ctrl-C from the page inserted by the plugin and then paste it anywhere in any page I wish - and see it ok in the clipboard.
