Bidirectional clipboard sharing with Windows 7 host

Post by J.L. »

Mac OS X Mountain Lion guest. So far, I've tried ShareMouse and Synergy. ShareMouse wouldn't connect at all using NAT or Host-only networking. I'd prefer not to use Bridged networking. Was using the portable Windows version if that matters...

Synergy only works from guest to host. I've only tried it with host as server and guest as client under NAT. Quirks include temporary disappearing cursor and sticky Ctrl key. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

If not, please provide alternatives. I would prefer not to use one of those cloud clipboards if possible. Thanks.
Windows 10 is the actual host, not 8 (no option).
