Recommendations for local Development on Windows and WSL2

Using Docker on WSL2/22.04

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS uses iptables-nft by default. Switch to iptables-legacy so that Docker will work: https://crapts.org/2022/05/15/install-docker-in-wsl2-with-ubuntu-22-04-lts/

Copy selection on selecting test (without need for Ctrl-C)

On traditional X11 and KDE Plasma, selected text is automatically copied to the X selection/clipboard for pasting it. To use this engrained behavior on Windows as well, it seems the only reliable way to have it for all apps is a AutoHotKey script:

While individual extensions for VS Code, Firefox, chrome do work partially, they either don't cover the Firefox URL bar, the VS Code terminal and so on:
