Attempting to copy to clipboard fails running under WSL2 just gives:

Failed to copy to clipboard

After adding the inner error text to the output message I now get

No clipboard utilities available. Please install xsel, xclip, or Termux:API add-on for termux-clipboard-get/set.

Which led me to this issue: atotto/clipboard#45

There's a PR to use clip.exe on WSL which has been open for a while :-(

Ah nice, I've merged the PR your fix to error logging ... so for now at least we'll see some more error details. Hopefully that PR gets merged soon and we can update to the newer version.

Just sent a PR that handles this in azbrowse - we can remove if atotto gets this functionality merged in :-)
