See below. + +As it is, each user has to do their own research and testing if they are to find a solution. This makes the product frustratingly unattractive for many. + +Most solutions involve either running vnc and using a vnc client that supports copy/paste (this can be tricky to find itself), or running some other tcp-based copy-paste application. + +For many users, the networking in a client VM is unimportant--they just want to run some application there, and setting up netoworking in a VM itself can be an issue. Most of these solutions rely on un-maintained software, and some require that other software be installed to make them work (Basic interpreter, Java, etc). Any of these solutions take some work to set up. + +I can tell you, the absence of a copy/paste mechanism makes the project an immediate no-go for many users. I work with a guy who spent a lot of time trying, gave up, and switched to VirtualBox for this exact reason. + +It would be much better if copy/paste worked out of the box. Ideally, it should work independently of networking. + +Cheers! + +Some discussions and proposed solutions: +----------------------------------------------------- +http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=161 + Somebody suggests VNC into the virtual host, and use vncviewer + Somebody else suggests TCP/IP Clipboard (text editor with tcp/ip) + +http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2626 + primitive app for sharing text across machines (in Basic) + http://homepage.mac.com/bnej/shareclip/ + +http://borderworlds.dk/blog/20070217-00.html + Says doesn't know a good solution but points to unmaintained package + Qemu Guest Tools + http://wolfpackally.wo.funpic.de/qemu/qgt/ + +http://bonzoli.com/docs/How_to_setup_Qemu_on_Fedora_8.html + proposes Java remoteclip running on client and server + http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/rcm/WWW/RemoteClip/
