>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: guacamole

> Currently Guacamole relies on the VNC protocol's clipboard forwarding to send clipboard contents to the remote machine connected through VNC.
> This does not work when the connection is to a QEMU/KVM guest machine through the QEMU/KVM built-in VNC server, as it does not have access to the guest machine's clipboard.
> In such case, if a user wants to access the remote machine's clipboard, he/she needs to run a VNC server in the guest machine and ask the hypervisor's administrator to perform the necessary port redirection. This is not user friendly, and it's not always possible to do so.
> It would be nice to have an option in Guacamole Menu (Ctrl+Alt+Shift) to toggle between sending the clipboard contents:
> a) through VNC protocol's clipboard API; or
> b) by sending keystrokes
> This way, the user can choose to send keystroke events to the remote machine, and he/she will be able to paste clipboard contents on remote machines running as QEMU/KVM guests.
