Mar 20, 2019 On your Windows, Android, or iOS device: Open the Remote Desktop app (available for free from Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store), and add the name of the PC that you want to connect to (from Step 1). Select the remote PC name that you added, and then wait for the connection to complete. Feb 27, 2017 I have a keyboard that has keys on it for copy, paste, and cut. These keys are mapped to the following shortcuts: ctrl-insert = copy. Shift-delete = cut. Shift-insert = paste. With remote desktop all this accomplishes is turning on/off insert. Is there a way to get these shortcuts working with remote desktop?
On Linux
vncconfig &
should be running in the VNC session so the clipboard is shared between Linux and macOS.
Basically, RealVNC keeps the clipboard in sync, between the 2 platforms, and you just use the native copy & paste commands on each platform.
The following Copy/Paste behavior is based on '/bin/gnome-terminal'. This may or may not work with xterm. Your milage may vary for other Linux based terminal emulators.
Linux to Mac
- The selected text seems to be transferred to the Mac automagically.
- Control-Shift-C - also copies text to the clipboard
- Command-V pastes the Linux loaded clipboard on the Mac.
