+# WindowsTerminalClipboardFixup
+
+Workaround for: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/2944
+
+## How does it work
+
+Everytime you copy text, it checks if the copied text was copied out of the new Windows Terminal.
+If that is indeed the case, it tries to estimate the length of a line, and tries to split up the text according to that.
+
+The estimation of line-lengths is a bit
+[primitive](https://github.com/moritzuehling/WindowsTerminalClipboardFixup/blob/13973fe18ce291ea8908efe5da78d4dcae00424c/WindowsTerminalClipboardFixup/HiddenForm.cs#L133),
+if you have a better idea, please feel free to contribute it. Either way, it works better than whatever the terminal is doing right now.
+
+## How do I get this?
