    Connect to serial console VM with same shell as container

    I have several VMs that I've configured with a serial console, however I'm not able to copy/paste into the html5 view like I can on containers. Is there a way to resolve this? Currently I ssh into the VE host and run minicom against the serial socket, but would like to have the webui available.
