Understandable. I currently am using two consoles (laptop at my right
hand, desktop in front of me), and every now and then I want to copy
and paste across them :) I mean, shared clipboard works just fine
across all my VM guests (and as I type that, Disney's cast is singing
"Be our guest" in my background music), it even works across remote
desktop, but for some reason, swinging my hands 90 degrees doesn't
transfer the clipboard. This strikes me as a major flaw in human
beings.
