WSL enable copy/paste shortcuts

 I moved to Windows recently, but still, I need Ubuntu installed in WSL for some of my work. You can enable Ctrl + Shift + C / Ctrl + Shift + V shortcuts for copy/paste.


Right-click on the title bar and select Properties from the context menu.

WSL right click menu


In the Options tab, tick the Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste option. Click OK.

WSL enable Ctrl+Shift+C/V



Now, we are good to copy/paste similar to the Ubuntu native shortcuts.
