I've personally tried every Rube Goldberg trick I could think of, even if the end result was worse, just to see if I could find a loop-hole. Re: etresoft, we (as in the members of my group at work) have struggled with VNC copy & paste with Linux system for the past 17 years, and I've gone though a lot of different clients. And when you have a direct connection, it works seamlessly.īut you did not do straight Mac-to-Mac connections, you stuck something in the middle that forces traditional VNC, and thus you broke away from Apple's focus and confused things. Mac-to-Mac Screen Sharing " is" one of Apple's focal points.

The fact that they will talk to a traditional VNC server is just a side effect of having most of the protocol there already, but they are not going out of their way to make it perfect. Traditional VNC is not Apple's central focus.
MAC CLIPBOARD ACTION FULL
It's maddening that in order to get full functionality outside of a fully Mac environment, we need to replace the built-in VNC service with something else.
MAC CLIPBOARD ACTION SOFTWARE
If you want full functionality, you will probably have to run the same remote control software on both ends. I also have a remote Mac running Screen sharing where the clipboard works fine. I searched for a solution but eventually just gave up. I can copy from the server but not paste to it. My experience is similar to that of BobHarris. I had similar difficulties getting clipboard to work with my remote Ubuntu server running the default, and horrible, vino VNC server. Most people have no idea what MDM is and few of them have any experience in it at all. This is a user-to-user support community. Other than the nachos context, I don't know what Guacamole is. But then, the best you can say of any VNC tool is that it supports the VNC protocol "somewhat". Screen Sharing does support the VNC protocol somewhat. The Mac has "Screen Sharing", which is a stripped down version of Apple Remote Desktop. To clarify, the Mac does not have built-in VNC. It can be just about anything, as long as it does not conflict with existing protocols you are using, and is not less than 1024 (privileged ports). The 59022 is just an arbitrary high port number on your local Mac that you use to anchor the ssh tunnel on your local Mac. The 5900 is the VNC port that the remote Mac's built-in VNC server will be listening on. Will Guacamole allow you to ssh to the remote Macs? If you can, then tunnel port 5900 and that should work I do not know why it cannot paste, but at work, we VNC into Linux systems, and the built-in VNC client is good for viewing, and typing, and pointing, and clicking, but Paste it does not do. But if the Mac client thinks it is talking to a generic VNC server, it looses the ability to do Paste. If the Macs are talking to each other, then full Copy & Paste support should work. Modifier real estate.I do not know anything about Guacamole. Lastly the Function key on Thinkpads and Apple hardware wastes precious (Ctrl+Shift+p on Arch, Mod4+Shift+p on Mac). Mac) or using the command palette between the two operating systems Other common shortcuts like focusing the URL bar (Ctrl+l on Arch, Mod4+l on My workflow between Arch/MacOS is not perfect and it’s still confusing for most I don’t have any “rich” clipboards with formatted text or images between the This is especially important as my workflow is to use Arch and My compromise thanks to MacOS usage is to use the Mod4 modifier to consistentlyĬopy and paste. Tbh I do not integrate vim with my clipboard, it’s too much of a hassle. If you use alacritty on Arch it needs the configuration: key_bindings: Historically it’s a middle mouse click for pasting, though I’m now more I don’t use vi bindings for visual selection or tmux etc. Over the years I’ve used computers, I’m most familiar with copy on selection I like the cross-platform Terminal though since it canįreeze on my Xorg Arch machine whilst idle 🤷, I also use Have the Function key confusing matters: Terminal You can check the bind using xev or screenkey.Ī “Mac” style keyboard like these “MX Keys for Mac” are nice, big and don’t To join my world you need to transpose the two keys: setxkbmap -option altwin:swap_alt_win The space bar, if you find Alt_L (mod1) & Super_L (mod4) reversed (Windows
