Cut / Paste

[Proximate]

Is there any chance that the console allows or will eventually allow cut/paste?
There so so many situations where I have to enter huge long complicated passwords to get in via the console and pasting would be so much more efficient.

Hi,

You can `copy paste` or `cut paste` from noVNC or SPICE.

I guess the answer is no.

See this thread for a more detailed discussion novnc: copy paste not works

Thank you . Funny that I had not found that.

I have this issue also.

I built a small nodejs web app you can run in one place on the network and access it from any other VM through a browser. It uses websockets to share the clipboard contents with all other clients. You may find it useful.

PS. There is no security built in. It's not meant to be deployed publicly. On a lan you control should be fine.
