Idea

I have two Feature request.

  • The clipboard automatically retrieves the content from the host clipboard in real-time, enabling it to be directly pasted within the user interface of the container

  • Can "ctrl" be replaced with "command" when using the MacOS system for keyboard shortcuts? This change would ensure consistency between the host and container shortcuts, resulting in a more seamless and convenient user experience. Otherwise, it is easy to mistakenly press the wrong keys.

Thanks!

For security reason, most browsers don't allow a web page to access content of the host's clipboard without user interaction. You can see novnc/noVNC#1347 for more details about support of this feature.

The container runs a Linux application and thus expect Linux shortcut. But I understand that it can be accessed via non-Linux clients. It seems possible, in the container, to remap the Command key (same as Windows key, or Super on Linux) to something else (e.g. ctrl key). However, I'm wondering if doing this would break other Linux shortcuts that are currently working.
