Description of the new feature / enhancement

An option to enable copy on selection as in X11/Linux systems. I.e. put text that is selected automatically on the clipboard.

I constantly find myself selecting text and pasting something different on Windows.

Scenario when this would be used?

Any text handling application like Notepad, VSCode, in browsers, Word+++

Supporting information

There are some posts about this feature around, but they seem to be pretty misunderstood by none Linux users. E.g.:
