Add the ability to disable clipboard sharing in the host client

Michael Bannerman 8 years ago updated by Caitlin M Barnes (Product Manager) 4 years ago 5

It might be a nice feature if it had an on/off option [for sharing your keyboard with the guest]. I tried to leave a client alone to work on something while I fixed stuff on my end, and our clipboard data kept getting replaced by one another's copy actions. Took a while to figure out what was going on, but makes it impossible for us to work concurrently on our own things with the connection open.

Hello All,

We decided to solve the issue by disabling clipboard sync when the host's input is suspended or guests input is blocked in the client. That being said, I am declining this issue. The improvement is scheduled and should be released within one of the next two releases, barring development delays.

Pending Review

Needs to be done. Getting an Library routine error and want to disable the copy/paste on one client but not all clients.

As of 19.4, the host client now includes a toggle to control clipboard sync!
