=== [[https://askubuntu.com/questions/433739/clipboard-syncronization-between-wine-and-x11|How to keep X Window selection clipboard and application clipboard synchronized?]] ===

<note tip>
  * Create the following registy entry:
    <code reg>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\X11 Driver]
"UsePrimarySelection"="1"
</code>
  * Enable ''[[http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel/|autocutsel]]''. Add ''autocutsel -s PRIMARY -fork'' to ''~/.vnc/xstartup''.

Solutions for old Wine versions ([[https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516072|Can I give a wine run program access to the clipboard?]], [[http://www.witch.westfalen.de/Wine-HOWTO/wineclipboard.html|The Wine Clipboard Server]]) that suggest to add something to ''~/.winrc'' or ''~/wine/config'' simply don't work.
