Linux host: Archlinux

Windows guest: Win10 with vmware-tools, copy & paste option of Windows guest are enabled

I've tried VMRC and Workstation Pro, copy and paste only work in Gnome(X11), both directions are OK, but other window managers don't

WM that I've tried: Plasma, Qtile, Bspwm.When using X11, only Linux host to Windows guest is OK.

I prefer tilling window manager, what should I do to fix this issue?

The issue is this doesn't work with Wayland.

Gnome(X11) works because X11

Plasma(X11) should also work (I'm on Arch w/ KDE and mine works)

Wayland treats the clipboard a bit different and when your running applications in XWayland (which is where VMRC and Workstation Pro have to run) they can't access the clipboard the same way

Hope that helps

  • Plasma(X11) only works with host to guest.

  • That's odd. It works fine for me.
