Could kill sexp also add the killed sexp to the clipboard?

Thanks for making this, it's works very nice!

One thing I miss from Emacs is not thinking about "delete" and "cut" -> killing a line, sexp etc will automatically add it to the clipboard so you can paste it immediately.

I'm not sure if I can cobble this together myself (I'm a newbie to Atom) by making a command that will "select next sexp" and then "cut", or if this something that lisp-paredit could/should provide.

I'm happy to look into providing a PR for this. Thanks for your time!

jonspalding did most of the work; I'm just the current maintainer.

This is definitely something that lisp-paredit can provide.
One approach would be to use atom.command.dispatch to call the existing "select next sexp" and "cut" commands.

I am against the default deletion commands having this behavior, so it should either use a new of commands or have an option in the settings to enable it. I'm open to thoughts or suggestions, since there are pros and cons to each.
