When I run Emacs in a text terminal instead of the normal GUI mode, I can copy in Emacs by activating the start of a region with C-SPC, and then select what I want, and then do M-w. Is there any way to get a region copied this way be available in the OSX clipboard to paste it say in a web page (other than by running Emacs in its GUI mode, obviously)? I'm not interested in creating a different shortcut to do that, and ideally it should not require installing any modules.
I've seen and tried the accepted answer but it does not work seem to work the way I expect above. Any other ideas? I apologize if this seems off topic. I navigated to this page from Google, where it was the first result for 'copy text to clipboard emacs.'
The question is titled 'Copy text from Emacs to OS X clipboard', so it's easy to see how you can end up here for that search result. I do think it's applicable to the way the posted phrase their question, a superset of it. I've visited StackExchange answers before and been frustrated when a simple answer wasn't available, especially when I knew thousands of people were asking the question, so I thought I'd add mine for people who could benefit.

Clipboard Printer is an expansion of the UNIX GUI utility called 'xclipboard' that allows users an quick and easy way of printing, managing, and saving to disk, multiple clipboards. Often times when harvesting data on the web from various resources, most web browsers provide functionality for printing pages in their entirely but not simply selected text, wasting paper and other printing resources. Clipboard Printer fills this obvious interface gap by allowing users to only print out what they have selected. There is a clipboard viewer that allows you to toggle between the various clipboards saved giving users the opportunity to delete materials no longer deemed appropriate. It is a handy study and research tool.
