 # This file has support for doing system clipboard copy and paste operations
 # from the command line in a generic cross-platform fashion.
 #
-# On OS X and Windows, the main system clipboard or "pasteboard" is used. On other
-# Unix-like OSes, this considers the X Windows CLIPBOARD selection to be the
-# "system clipboard", and the X Windows `xclip` command must be installed.
-
+# This is uses essentially the same heuristic as neovim, with the additional
+# special support for Cygwin.
+# See: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/e682d799fa3cf2e80a02d00c6ea874599d58f0e7/runtime/autoload/provider/clipboard.vim#L55-L121
