How to “copy to clipboard” in vim of Bash on Windows?

Question

I used to use \"+y to copy text to system\'s clipboard, but it doesn\'t work in vim of Bash on Windows.

Answer 1

If you want use vim that bundled within WSL, you can only use the Clipboard provided by vim itself, which means you can only copy & paste within vim only.

Or, you can try:

1. Install VcXsrv and run it.
2. export DISPLAY=localhost:0 in your WSL Bash.
3. Run vim-gtk or vim-gnome(or any other GUI Apps) and try Clipboard across Linux and Windows.
