Emacs has been my daily driver for software development and various other tasks for quite some time.
I usually use it on Linux, but at my current job, I am forced to run Windows as my main OS.
Fortunately the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has become pretty usable, especially since MS
added a bundled Wayland server that integrates into the Windows desktop (called WSLg).
However, one thing that kept annoying me: Copying text out of my Emacs (running in WSL/WSLg) into
any Windows application did not work. I would expect that if I kill some text in Emacs (using e.g.
kill-ring-save
, bound by default to M-w
), the text somehow makes its way to the Windows
clipboard and can be pasted into any Windows application.
