Windows PowerShell remote ssh vim copy to clipboard not works

[soonsolidchentuo]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Login to Ubuntu through SSH in Powershell and edit files using Vim.

However, when I use "+y, I cannot copy the content to the Windows clipboard. Thank you.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I hope it can copy content like putty. Thanks.

Huh. I was pretty sure we added support for OSC 52 in #5823 (a couple years back now).

Can you capture a script trace of trying to copy in vim this way/? That should tell us how exactly they're settings the keyboard.

I also face the same issue using the micro editor over ssh (which supports osc52). I will try to get a trace.

Sorry I can't upload the trace file. So I update to my repository. trace file

The step:

1. I open a power shell command
2. ssh to server-android
3. open a file by vim
4. try using the v + "+y (ok)
5. exit the vim
6. try to use the shift + ins (failed)
7. try to use the right mouse button ( failed)

Which ssh are you using? ssh.exe that ships with Windows? ssh from a WSL distro? Or some other ssh? And which version of ssh?

Did you make sure to configure vim to actually copy to the clipboard using OSC 52 (using something like https://github.com/fcpg/vim-osc52)/?

I tried to add a plugin named vim-osc52
It works by the command :Oscyank

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ssh -V
OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2

I'm using the jonathonf/vim

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim 

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt install vim
