Copy/paste and Tab in Windows Hosts

[audunms]

Hi, is it possible to get copy-paste to/from guest? Guest is Windows Server 2008 VM.
Also, tabulator on the keyboard does not work in guest (have to use SendKey).

I am accessing hosts via Console in Proxmox web interface.

I have seen some posts about this, but I find the information somewhat unclear.

thanks for any help.

you sit behind a window OS? if yes, use java6 and not 7 to fix the tab issues.

copy/paste is not implemented. I assume this will work as soon as we use spice instead of java.

Thank you. Yes, I access web interfae / Console via Windows 7 64 bit. Unfortunately I think I cannot switch to previous Java versions as I have other applications that I access and require updated Java.

What is the spice time frame?

there are still some unresolved issue with spice (e.g. secure authentication) - no schedule.

Why are you not able to use two different versions af Java? It is no limitation in Windows and certanly not Java, Java is designed to be able to run two or more versions of Java side by side.

When discussing the Java issue why do you not at the java family attribute to the Object element to specify to only use Java 6?

An example (Java 6):

<OBJECT classid="

clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA​

"
width="200" height="200">
<PARAM name="code" value="Applet1.class">
</OBJECT>

Thank you for your replies. I might look into the Java versioning.
