not only the command of "yy" will automatically connect to the system clipboard, but also "dd".

It's vim default behaviorl, not bug.

Because clip.exe can't recognize Chinese characters as UTF-8 string.

The better solution what I can think of is revert to use win32yank.exe.

What do you think? @CharlesChiuGit

not only the command of "yy" will automatically connect to the system clipboard, but also "dd".

ys, vim will send things to register after dd, and then to clip.exe. if u want to change that, u can tune the clipboard settings, or learn how to delete things to "void" and not the register.

For the invalid characters part, I think it needs further investigation, cause the number shouldn't have UTF-8 encoding issues.

@darkwilldie can u try:

1. use windows terminal and win32yank
2. use wezterm and win32yank
3. use wezterm and clip.exe
4. check font settings in wsl and Windows

Also please make sure everything is up-to-date, including Windows updates and wsl updates, etc.

Temp work around for you @darkwilldie :

		vim.g.clipboard = {
			name = "win32yank-wsl",
			copy = {
				["+"] = "win32yank.exe -i --crlf",
				["*"] = "win32yank.exe -i --crlf",
			},
			paste = {
				["+"] = "win32yank.exe -o --lf",
				["*"] = "win32yank.exe -o --lf",
			},
			cache_enabled = 0,
		}

Replaced with Wezterm, the problem remains the same, so I believe this issue is unrelated to windows terminal

when using psyank, the mess remains(system clipboard is garbled but the registers of neovim display fine), while it solved by changing to wsl32yank(because any copied content won't be transferred to system clipboard)

[darkwilldie]

well, I reset Win32yank and now it works fine.
