I have this in my ~/.emacs file on both Linux and Cygwin:

I see in the news file that it's now set by default.
It has always worked in graphical emacs but has never
worked in a terminal on either Linux or Cygwin.
But I sure would like it to work in a terminal. Are you
able to paste clipboard text in emacs in a terminal?
When I run emacs in mintty, I can paste clipboard text with Shift-Insert.

Ah! That works! Thank you.
But there are still a couple problems.
1) Shift-Insert is a huge improvement, but is still a little
clunky. I'd like to tie it to Shift-Ctrl-Y, but when I
press CTRL-h Shift-Insert, the *Help* window cryptically
reports, "T runs the command self-insert-command". What
command is actually running?
"T" was probably the first character of the text you pasted. I think
it's mintty that processes the Shift-Insert; emacs never sees it.
2) How can I go the other way--copy from emacs in a terminal
to the Windows clipboard?
Select it with the mouse. Again, it's mintty that's doing the copying
here; emacs doesn't see the mouse operations.
