With SPICE you use a client (either same as host or different) and you connect to the host to access the guest. Besides that, won't it be easier to enable SSH and use it instead? You would have clipboard support and more integration with Windows. You could use Tmux or a different terminal manager to have more terminals. Regards, Frediano

Hi, Not sure if you are asking for help, suggesting a feature or interested in implementing this.

SPICE copies the clipboard data from the client, transfer it to spice-vdagent which transfer it to guest's clipboard (x11 only, no wayland support) > 1. from host -> guest (via spice clipboard) > host: copy from cheetsheet to clipboard > guest shell: dev/cb > # redirect from clipboard device to > standard out > > 2. from guest -> host (via spice clipboard) > guest: > dev/cb # redirect standard out to the > clipboard device > host: > a. graphical paste menu item in some application > b. dev/cb > command # redirect from spice cb > device on host to another command You could hack spice-vdagent to interact with something else other than x11's clipboard if that's something you are interested in.

Assuming that the host is a windows based environment and the guest is s qemu based linux terminal only environment e.g ubuntu server without x11, then there are currently no features targeted specifically at exposing a character device in the terminal that one can redirect text to and from the host's clipboard. e.g. 1. from host -> guest (via spice clipboard) host: copy from cheetsheet to clipboard guest shell: dev/cb > # redirect from clipboard device to standard out 2. from guest -> host (via spice clipboard) guest: > dev/cb # redirect standard out to the clipboard device host: a. graphical paste menu item in some application b. dev/cb > command # redirect from spice cb device on host to another command
