I’ve installed xsel on my Manjaro Linux system after reading a tweet mentioning that the Helix editor uses xsel as the default provider for interacting with the system clipboard on X11 systems. However, I would like to change the helix configuration so that copying to the system clipboard is the default behavior. Can anyone provide guidance on how to make this change? I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you!

    Although I use helix too I’m not exactly sure how to do this. I know vim and nvim have variables you can set in the configuration file to change the register used so check the helix documentation for something like that
