I use my mac connected to a remote server (Windows 2008) by Microsoft Remote Desktop beta, and in the remote server I use the WMware workstation created a virtual machine (CentOS 7.2).

In the virtual machine how can I paste my copy in the terminal?

I have tested use:command + V, Control +V, fn + command + V, ....and so on, can not paste success.

  • Tried middle click or right click? Both can be defined for copying (middle click e.g. in Linux MINT Distribution and right click e.g. in the PuTTy Tool) Commented May 30, 2017 at 10:30
  • I’m voting to close this question because it involves two non-Linux boundaries that need correct configuration for the desired operation to work. It should probably be asked on SuperUser instead. Commented Nov 9, 2022 at 12:39

Depending on the terminal the following might work:

  • middle mouse click
  • right click
  • ctrl + shift + v
  • command + shift + v

Make sure to set the virual machine to allow shared/bidirectional clipboard in VMware. The shortcuts should be active in the OS you have focused, i.e. the one that is trapping all your keystrokes.

    Well, you have two walls where it could fail: the windows remote connection and the VMware connection. I would test each separately. Commented May 30, 2017 at 12:48
