Is there any way to redirect a command output to clipboard in WinDbg similar to
<command> | clip

Not aware of a way to do this. Closed you could get would be to use .logopen/.logappend/.logclose to save to file and paste from there – Chris Mar 23 '17 at 20:46

Not tried it but I imagine that using `cdb` might work. – Lieven Keersmaekers Mar 24 '17 at 09:08

On Windows 10, clip is a built-in Windows command line executable to copy text into the clipboard. On other versions of Windows you might need to find a similar tool and install it somewhere in %PATH%.
You can use it from WinDbg with
.shell -ci "<command>" clip
e.g.
.shell -ci "k" clip
to copy the call stack to the clipboard.
There's also the undocumented !! abbreviation of .shell, so you can do
!! -ci "k" clip
If you use a WinDbg startup script anyway, you can define an alias, e.g.
as | .shell -ci
and then do a very short
| "k" clip
Note that this redefines |, which shows the current process. I use that command at least once in every debugging session, so I don't recommend that. Maybe you find a better shortcut.
