Clipboard Auto Sync

[djarbz]

Is it possible to enable auto syncronization of the remote clipboard with the local clipboard?
It is a bit of a pain to have to paste into the clipboard widget and then paste again inside the VNC session and to remember to do so.

The local and remote clipboards are synchronized.
Are you suggesting that a "ctrl+v" into the clipboard widget automatically performs a "ctrl+v" into the remote app ?

I have to use the clipboard widget in the side panel in order to transfer to/from the app. I can't copy something on my host PC and paste it directly into the app or vice versa.

To my knowledge this is not something that can be done: for security reason, a web page cannot freely access the clipboard without user intervention.

Would ctrl+v or ctrl+c not be intervention?
I swear I have used other HTML VNC like apps before that accomplish this, I know other apps such as code-server require HTTPS for the clipboard to work.
I'll have to see if I can find any examples, it's been a while.

Looks like it is not supported by noVNC yet, see this PR: novnc/noVNC#1347

Thanks for the pointer! I will follow this thread closely.
