When using Xming, Windows handles the clipboard interface by integrating the X11 clipboard with the Windows clipboard. This integration allows for seamless copy-paste operations between Windows and X11 applications1. To ensure smooth clipboard operations, it's important to enable clipboard support in Xming.

Here are some best practices:

Enable Clipboard Support: Make sure the clipboard integration is enabled in Xming. You can do this by using the -clipboard option when starting Xming.

Use Compatible Applications: Ensure that both the Windows application and the X11 application support clipboard operations.

Check Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are set for clipboard access between the applications.

Update Software: Keep both Xming and your applications up to date to avoid compatibility issues.
