First "copy" in the source vm window using the vm's copy keys (may be ctl-c or right click "copy" or "ctl-insert" depending on what you are running). This places text in vm's buffer. Then ctl-shift-c to copy vm buffer to qubes buffer. Then click in target vm window to give target vm "focus". Then ctl-shift-v to paste from qubes buffer to target vm buffer. Then paste as normal in target vm...may be ctl-v, shift-insert or other, again depending on what you are running. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
