I think I’ve installed all the drivers, but the clipboard only syncs from host to guest. How do I enable guest to host clipboard sharing?

      If they’re saying “guest” I’d assume it’s a virtual machine. But yeah, is it VirtualBox or KVM or something else?

        True, kvm defaults to SPICE I think.
        For a Windows VM I would do as @infeeeee@lemmy.zip and install Remmina on the host.

          Clipboard sharing in VirtManager is a hit or miss, I remember once I could set it up, but usually I use rdp as it always Just Works™

    For a Windows guest, I’d access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it’s probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).
