I don't know xclip and I'm not shure to understand what you want, but
I'm normally sitting at an Text-Terminal, so there's CLI only too.

I use screen, where I can copy with '[Ctrl-a] [' and paste with
'[Ctrl-a] ]', from 'window' to 'window' or in the same 'window' as
well.

I's a fine tool, but perhaps not what you want?
