Describe the bug when connecting with moonlight to sunshine i can't copy from the sunshine system to the moonlight system, i can only paste text from moonlight to sunshine with the "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V" combination.

is this a sunshine problem or a moonlight problem?

on the documentation of moonlight the key combination "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C" does "Toggle local cursor display in remote desktop mouse mode" and dosen't copy text. https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#keyboardmousegamepad-input-options

how to copy text from sunshine system, is this function integrated?

Client PC details (please complete the following information)

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Moonlight Version: v4.3.1

Server PC details (please complete the following information)

  • OS: Windows 10
  • sunshine v0.20

I realize this couldn't work with gamestream, but could this be implemented in Sunshine?

it is also possible to build a copy'n'paste tool for that which is not dependant of moonlight or sunshine.

i read on a forum that this tools might do it. didn't test it yet https://github.com/sabrogden/Ditto/releases but seems to work for text only (not files)

another alternative is using localsend to send files and text saved in txt files https://localsend.org/ or some cloud/transfer provider (eg wetransfer) with encrypted files

CLIPBOARD PASTING DOESN'T WORK Also, why use ctrl+shift+alt+v ?

Why close it?

because the issue was 2 years opened.

because the issue was 2 years opened.

but copy pasting still doesn't work. I'm on MacOS. Rustdesk, for example, supports it. Is it possible to do it even with an additional software? (for example, as you do with Blackhole for the audio on macos)

this should be developed by the main project team. if you want to do something like that you can try to develop it yourself and chatgpt can give you some help. i will reopen this issue.
