Hi,
I was trying to solve the issue of not being able to copy and paste from my windows 10 PC to the virtual Ubuntu 18.04 CLI.
I found out i should enable it in Guest Isolation tab in options but I do not have such thing in my menu (as you can see in the screenshot below).
I should have the VMware tools installed so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Not sure about the Ubuntu CLI, but these settings should be enabled by default.
The following settings (in the VM's .vmx file) are only required to disable them.
isolation.tools.dnd.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.copy.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.paste.disable = "TRUE"

Thank you for your reply ! I'm not sure if I'm looking at the wrong file but I don't seem to have those options in my file.
Yes, you're looking at the wrong file. The .vmx file is the one above the .vmxf file.
You can disable "Hide file extensions .." in the Windows Exploerer's settings.

I see, i don't know how i missed that i thought i checked every file.. nvm
Well I added those lines in the file since they were missing completely but I'm still not able to copy and paste text between my PC and the VM
You set the 3 disable options to TRUE or to FALSE?
They need to be FALSE and you should only make the change with Workstation closed.
I tried both while the VM Workstation was closed.
Did you find a solution?
