Copy/paste from local system clipboard via remote FVim

Hi Yatli,

Thank you for delivering this awesome GUI app. It's my 3rd day using it - it feels absolutely slick.

My question is how to yank strings from system clipboard to Fvim? I've attempted <C-v>; Win-V; middle mouse button etc; where I could see these key strokes correctly typed inside FVim, but not the intended strings.

I'm on Windows and my clipboard is set to set.clipboard = "unnamedplus"

Nvim 0.8 dev and all plugins are latest

Have you tried from within fvim:

copy: "+y paste: "+p

This does not work for me either with WSLv2. :checkhealth reports FVimClipboard as the clipboard tool installed, however setting/un-setting the clipboard in nvim's configuration to unnamedplus has no effect and the " register does not contain content copied from Windows. Upon initial startup, nvim even thinks that there is no clipboard tool installed (it presents an error whenever I attempt to paste with p) until I run :checkhealth, after which it stops complaining.

If you're seeing the misbehavior, it means my workaround has failed. Need to find something new again :)
