Links and config files for Windows

Before Start

I recommend you use Powershell Core instead of the embedded Powershell solution to run the scripts

Open PowerShell in administrator mode by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator"

So put the command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force;

Choco Installation

Use this command to install choco packages from a file

Get-Content chocolatey.txt | ForEach-Object { choco install $_ -y }

Make sure to run the command with administrative privileges.

Powershell Profile

Source a different path profile

. $env:USERPROFILE\Developer\repos\windows_setup\profile.ps1

Enable Unix-like end-of-line in the text editors

VSCode

Hit Ctrl+, to acess the settings, then search for eol and set \n

Notepad++

For any new document: Settings -> Preferences -> New Document (left pane) -> New Document (right pane) -> Format (Line ending) -> Windows (CR LF) / Unix (LF) / Macintosh (CR)

And for an already-open document: Edit -> EOL Conversion

WSL clipboard

Option 1

WSL supports Wayland, so if you install the Wayland clipboard utility your Neovim installation should work fine

sudo apt install wl-clipboard

or

sudo pacman -S wl-clipboard

And inside the Neovim config:

vim.schedule(function()
  opt.clipboard = 'unnamedplus'
end)

Option 2

If the previous recommendation didn't work try using Win32yank

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/equalsraf/win32yank/releases/download/v0.1.1/win32yank-x64.zip
unzip win32yank-x64.zip
chmod +x win32yank.exe
sudo cp win32yank.exe /usr/local/bin/

And inside the Neovim config:

vim.schedule(function()
  opt.clipboard = 'unnamedplus'
end)

if vim.fn.has('wsl') == 1 then
    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 = true,
    }
end
