I am running latest version of tmux (1.7) and xclip (0.12) installed in the
system. I would like to define Emacs-like keyboard bindings in my
`.tmux.conf` to be able to copy (M-w) and paste (C-y) from/to the copy
buffer to the clipboard.

I found some code [1] for copying the entire buffer to the clipboard (and
viceversa), but I can't figure out how to modify it to make the solution
proposed in the most voted answer to copy and paste a selection:

    # Copy  X clipboard into tmux paste buffer
    bind C-y run "tmux set-buffer \"$(xclip -o)\"; tmux paste-buffer"

    # Copy tmux buffer into x clipboard
    bind M-w run "tmux save-buffer - | xclip -i"

Any ideas? What is the best way to approach this?
