Feature suggestion: copy/paste to/from VM like to/from LXC

[proxwolfe]

Hi,

I am aware that this is probably something for the people developing kvm/qemu, but I run into this regularly using proxmox. So maybe you can tend to it?

When I am working with an lxc I can copy and paste to the terminal. The same is not true for a vm. I miss that capability sorely. It would be great if this could be implemented!

Thanks

This should work already if you use SPICE as display.

I see.

But then I need to use a separate viewer, right? It doesn't seem to be working inside the web gui for me.

You need to install the virtviewer. But it is way better so you should give it a try:
- working audio out and mic
- better looking picture
- better latency
- usb devices remotely working
- desktop will fit your browser dynamically and no static resolution

I think NoVNC just can't handle copy & paste. Same everywhere (TrueNAS for example) not just for Proxmox.
