Along with configuring the below options, it requires VM tools to be installed and up-to-date for the copy/paste to work from the VM console -

isolation.tools.copy.disable="FALSE"

isolation.tools.paste.disable="FALSE"

Step-1 --> Install VMware Tools.

Step-2 --> Power off the VM --> Set the above parameters either in the advanced configuration of the VM or by editing the vmx file.

Step-3 --> Remove the VM from inventory and re-register. Sometimes, the changes to the vmx file are not considered unless the vmx is reloaded.

Step-4 --> Power on the VM and ensure that the VMware Tools service is started.

At this point, copy/paste between the VM console and your local system should work.
