Copy/Paste only working one way

[wduncanson]

Broker 7.10, Agent 7.10, Client OS Windows 10, Horizon Client 5.2-14570289, VDI CentOS 7.5, nVidia GRID driver 430.46.

Copy and paste works from the Windows side to the Linux side, but not vice-versa.  There must be something obvious that I'm missing...

This is actually by design and is default behavior. You need to edit the config file on the agent and set the Clipboard Direction property to correct value:

Interesting, I got the impression from the documentation that two-way was the default.  I'll modify that value and see what happens.

Hmm...

Changed the config file and rebooted the node:

[willdunc@htpvis-003b ~]$ cat /etc/vmware/config | grep -i clip

#Set clipboard redirection. Default is 2. 0 means disable; 1 means both direction; 2 means from client to agent only, 3 means from agent to client only.

Clipboard.Direction=1

#Set clipboard maximum size which should be specified in KBytes. Default is 1024 KBytes.

#mksvchan.clipboardSize=1024

However, clipboard is still only working from client to agent.

Figured it out; you actually have to use CTRL+SHIFT+C or right click and choose copy, instead of just highlighting text like normal in X11.
