Summary

I propose to respect 'SSH_CLIENT' environment variable, e.g. use 'termcode' or another clipboard provider under windows if variable is set.

Reproduction Steps

Client computer:

I tried this:

  1. login to windows host using ssh
  2. hx
  3. type worlds
  4. select all
  5. type :clipboard-yank
  6. open notepad
  7. try to paste

I expected this to happen:

Copyied worlds appears in notepad

Instead, this happened:

nothing

Similar steps if I use helix editor in wsl environment (builded for linux), the text is copied to the clipboard.

Helix log

Windows host through ssh:

> hx --health
...
Clipboard provider: clipboard-win
System clipboard provider: clipboard-win
...

WSL-host works both if xclip is installed or not installed (proverd: xclip or termcode)

Platform

Linux / Windows / Android

Terminal Emulator

termux

Installation Method

cargo install

Helix Version

helix 23.10 (a1272bd)

I feel like this would be solved by the linked issue but I'll leave this to the discretion of the maintainers if they believe there is a way to support this without requiring configuration.
