Would there be a way to share the content of the clipboard between host and VM, to enable copy from host → paste on VM and vice-versa? Ps: kudos for all the work on the app, it's been super useful to experiment with Ventura beta! |

Yes! This is already possible through the "VirtualBuddyGuest" app, but it's currently only available for developers who can build it themselves, since it's very experimental and not very secure. It will eventually become a standard feature that the app helps you configure. There's also a new native way of doing it through the Virtualization framework, but that only works in macOS Ventura, and during initial testing I wasn't able to get it to work. TL;DR: stay tuned, it's coming eventually :) |

I haven't tried that scenario yet, but I believe the implementation will need some tweaks in order to allow that. I've had a few bugs that I'd like to tackle as well, I'll be sure to check this out once I get to it :) |

Updating the answer, as of the latest release, clipboard sharing is now available, just be sure to run the VirtualBuddyGuest app inside the VM. VirtualBuddy automatically mounts a "Guest" volume, double-click the app inside after booting up the VM and the app will automatically install itself. |

This is for macOS guests only, right? |

Are there any future plans to add support for Linux guests? |

No plans from me, but the new protocol I'm implementing should be usable from Linux in case someone wants to implement the Linux client for guests. |

It updates itself automatically if it finds a newer guest image upon launch |

@insidegui maybe it is an issue as my host is 14.2 Beta 1? |

Bring back and old 'thread'. Wonder if it's possible to paste into the login password window when a macOS vm first starts up? Once logged into the vm, can paste fine (obviously due to the guest app) |

That's not currently possible, but I have some ideas of how I could implement it 😉 |
