I have also been able to copy text from Windows to an Emacs *scratch* buffer, sometimes, but that&#8217;s about it. I recently started using VNC on a Linux workstation, and with this, I wasn&#8217;t able to copy in either direction.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to research for a solution that would allow me to copy text both ways, and after some searching, I found some discussions where someone had suggested that running &#8220;vncconfig&#8221; on the Linux machine where the VNC server is running would enable copying both ways. I decided to give it a try, and typed &#8220;vncconfig.&#8221; It popped up an X-window where I could select a few options for VNC. I did not really change any of those. Then I tried copying from the VNC viewer running on Windows XP to another Windows application, and it worked!! I then tried copying from XP to the VNC viewer, and that works too!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been using VNC server on Solaris, and a viewer on Windows for a while and have been able to copy text from the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51,40],"tags":[343],"class_list":["post-386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-desktop","category-software","tag-vnc","wpcat-51-id","wpcat-40-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technicalley.com\/central\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
