Absolutely, I'll give those suggestions a try. I should clarify that there appear to be two potentially related issues:
1. The first issue involves copying and pasting between the client and the remote system. When I copy something to the clipboard on the system I'm remoting from, and then use Ctrl-Alt-Shift to bring up the sidebar while in the client system, the clipboard box does display my copied text. However, any attempt to paste it using Command-v on the remote system fails. This also holds true when I try to paste from the menu on the remote system manually. 2. The second issue pertains to copying and pasting solely within the remote system. Copying and pasting works when I use the dropdown menu at the top of the Mac command bar, but the Command-c/Command-v function is not operational. Also, things like command-space, which brings up spotlight in MacOS does not work either. Seems like the meta key is not being recognized in the session somehow. Regarding the on-screen keyboard, how can I execute a multi-key combination? I can select a key with the mouse, but only one at a time. I need to test Meta-C/Meta-V. Maybe the two issues are related? Seems like a key mapping issue of somesort. I'm connecting to the standard MacOS VNC server that comes built into MacOS.
