When there is no special "agent"/"helper" are installed in the guest, can't VirtManager still support pasting text by sending those as key strokes, just like Vmware Workstation?
I know that not all text can be converted to key strokes, such as Asian letters, but surely, it can be done for common alphanumeric text like a to z, 1 to 0, !,@,#, etc, because there already is "Send Key" menu that can send things like "Ctrl+Alt+F8"? I mean, for example if the user copies "http://www.google.com", and the clicks "Send Key -> Clipboard" in VirtManager's guest OS window menu, VirtManager can send keys like h, t, t, p, :, /, /... etc, can't it? This will be very helpful when there is no special guest agent is available, like when installing an OS.
