A solution for clipboard transfer is available.

  • Text copied in the remote desktop will appear in the clipboard box in noVNC’s interface.

  • You can then copy the text from that box to access it in your local clipboard.

  • Any text put into the clipboard box will be sent to the remote clipboard as well.

Some keyboard keys and combinations are intercepted by the browser.

We have added the most common keys to the interface to allow such keys to be sent to the remote desktop.

Note that the control bar can be dragged to whichever side you prefer, simply drag the handle.



Reminder

Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.

Wanderer, there is no path,
the path is made by walking.
