One of the first things I noticed: clipboard sharing between host and guest just&hellip; doesn&rsquo;t work. You press Ctrl+C on the host, Ctrl+V in the guest — nothing. The other direction? Also nothing.</p> <p><code>open-vm-tools</code> is supposed to handle this, and it does — if you&rsquo;re running X11. On a Wayland guest, it has no idea what to do. There&rsquo;s no native Wayland support, and the clipboard plugin simply can&rsquo;t find a selection buffer to talk to.</p>
