Work-around for Pyperclip issue inside VS Code Dev Container

Discussed in #645

Current behavior

• ctrl+c and ctrl+x:
  These commands throw the following error:

   FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'clip.exe'
  

• ctrl+v and ctrl+u:
  These commands throw the following error:

   FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'powershell.exe'
  

• shift+insert and right-click:
  These paste methods work correctly.

Environment

I am using Windows 11 with Docker Desktop. I have tried several suggestions from the troubleshooting guide, but they did not resolve the issue.

Questions

1. If I install xclip in my Dockerfile, can I use a config file to override the current behavior?
2. Alternatively, is the solution to use Xming as discussed in this thread?

Thanks!
