Feature Copy/paste from client into a AHV Console VM


Any update on using copy/paste from our workstation/laptop into a VM Console of windows VM hoted on AHV cluster? 

How Do I Enable Copy and Paste in AHV? | Nutanix Community

 

this would be a great feature to implement but it does not seem to be any information as to when this would be available and we would be deploying 3 new AHV Clusters so not sure if this is on the pipeline.

 

thank you

Really a nice enhancement for AHV VM console, as of now there is no update on the feature release.

This may be the most wanted feature for adminsitrators right now… Hopefully it will come one day.

This would be very useful.  I am pretty sure I put in a feature request as a new customer about 4 years ago.

This would be good - being asked by customers as they are used t this with VMware.

This seems like such an obvious requirement for a hypervisor.  I know VMware, Hyper-V and even VirtualBox all have this ability.

I am looking forward to the day that I can copy paste scripts, etc. into an AHV console.

Good request… I am used to not being able to copy/paste direct because of past vendors having the same constraints, but would be a great addition if Nutanix development can do it for us.

😔 Dame shame would be nice to have copy paste function from device to VM console 

I'm new to Nutanix VM console been using since Feb 2023

we have very complex passwords and Scripts so copy paste would be nice 😎

Dear Nutanix Team.When i used VMWARE ESXi and launch remote console over VMWare client installed on my pc,i can copy paste any text between my pc and VM.
Maybe you can create some offline application for PC (for example named PricmLocal) which can do the same thing like a VMware.

It’s strange to me that that clipboard sharing has been around for a very long time, is usable in other platforms, has been a community request for 2 years, and yet no solution or workaround has been offered.
