As far as I'm aware, there is no tool that uses the clipboard in any OS that will allow that clipboard to be used outside of that OS. This appears to be what you want to do. If you want to be able to copy something from a guest OS to the host OS clipboard, I think you will need to investigate features/tools for the VM software or the host OS instead, or employ a clever work-around such as using an SSH client on the host OS to "talk to" the guest OS, and copy from the SSH client to wherever else you need the data in your host OS. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --OgqxwSJOaUobr8KG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAks+ORwACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWNEACg8LMEJJWQEDxxtP90H/4jZpc1 6AoAn16b+eE2V2jx/O7Fie/JWysY1OSf =t5s9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OgqxwSJOaUobr8KG--
