I do it sufficiently often that I wrote a (incorrect) /usr/local/bin/qubes-set-clipboard. Incorrect because it does not grab the inter-appviewer lock when manipulating the files, so it's possible that there could be interleaving of updating the files between my writing and a gui-daemon's writing, but in practice I don't care since it is nearly impossible to trigger (I perform copy first I was looking for a better way to solve this though, potentially with a consistent UX (just use the same keyboard shortcut in dom0 & domU because the action you are trying to perform is the same, so that's what users would likely expect). > - use a specific shortcut (*not* ctrl-shift-v), or a tray button, or a menu > entry, ..., to send the content of the clipboard to a given VM (would > require a popup list to choose the VM).

I didn't like that because it's an inconsistent UX, but given the difficulty of doing it properly here, I think that's a very reasonable solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
