Copy/Paste in VMRC embedded mode
1 vote
After speaking with support, I understand that the clipboard component of the VMRC protocol is proprietary and has not been reverse-engineered. While the current embedded session is functionally equivalent to VMware’s web console, clipboard copy/paste is not supported in that mode.
Could you please evaluate the possibility of implementing a solution or alternative method to enable this feature? Adding support for clipboard synchronization would significantly improve workflow efficiency when managing VMs directly within the embedded interface.
Thanks.

Hello,
The VMRC protocol at its core is based on the VNC protocol, with extensions built on top of it. This means we have to figure out how they implemented these features to replicate them on our side with our VNC client. We originally looked at their web client for our current implementation, but their web client doesn't support copy/paste either (it explains the available featureset as you've mentioned). So, while it might appear like a simple feature, it isn't so much.
We currently have other big projects being worked on for our VNC client, so I can't give you an estimate on when we would be able to work on this, but we will keep this in our wishlist of features to add to our VNC client.
As usual we're keeping an eye out for additional feedback from users to help prioritize this.
Regards,
Hubert Mireault
