   Did you know if you're working in the #Windows command line you can use clip to pipe the output of your command to the clipboard? 👀

   For example, you can do this in cmd if you want to copy and paste the info somewhere else (rather than manually having to select the output to copy it):

   systeminfo | clip

     @jscholes @menelion @JenMsft If you’re using PowerShell 7.4 in Windows Terminal (or any terminal application that supports the OSC52 ANSI escape sequence), the Set-Clipboard cmdlet does support piping remote output to the local clipboard via the -AsOSC52 parameter.

     You can even configure your PowerShell profile to automatically identify when you’re in a remote shell to automatically apply that parameter without you specifying it.

     Set-Clipboard Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/set-clipboard?view=powershell-7.4

     GitHub Issue that suggested the feature: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/18116

     @menelion It doesn't work in an interactive SSH session, because you'd be running that command in your remote shell. Even assuming the system you were connected to had a `clip` command, it wouldn't have access to your local clipboard. However, you could run one-off commands over SSH and have the session immediately terminate afterwards, and pipe that output to this. @JenMsft

     @JenMsft I wonder if it works in SSH sessions. If yes, then I had been an idiot for at least four years to select and copy everything to Notepad for further review.
