Accessing shared clipboard history on the guest?

Post by Zevel »

Configuration: Windows 10 host, Ubuntu 20.04 guest, Guest Services installed

The shared clipboard works fine.

On the Windows 10 host, when I hit Win+V, I see the clipboard history with entries from both the host and the guest systems, and can select which one to paste.

How can I do the same on the Linux guest?

Thank you.

Clipboard history in Windows 10 is a feature of Windows, not Virtualbox. It would theoretically also be a feature of the VM's OS if such a thing exists in that OS. Try web-searching the OS's help channels.
