Set-Clipboard throws a CommandNotFoundException in PowerShell Core on Windows. There is a similar issue #3618 open for Mac. A workaround could be piping to clip.exe in Windows but this passes functionality out of PowerShell.
Steps to reproduce
Get-Content -Path myfile.txt | Set-Clipboard
Expected behavior
Text piped or passed into command should get set to the clipboard.
Actual behavior
Get-Content -Path myfile.txt | Set-Clipboard
