How to copy and paste in a Linux virtual machine

In a Linux virtual machine, you can achieve copy and paste functionality using the following methods:

1. To use the virtual machine window menu: choose “Edit” -> “Copy” or “Edit” -> “Paste” from the top menu bar of the virtual machine window for copy-paste operations.
2. Use shortcut keys: in the virtual machine window, use Ctrl+C for copying and Ctrl+V for pasting.
3. Drag and drop: Allows you to copy and paste files or text from the host operating system’s file browser or text editor to the virtual machine window.
4. Install and configure virtual machine tools: Some virtual machine software (such as VMware Tools) offer additional features, including copy and paste functionality. Once these tools are installed and configured, it allows for a more convenient way to copy and paste within the virtual machine.

Please note that the copy and paste function in the virtual machine may require appropriate configuration and settings in the virtual machine software. Therefore, the specific steps may vary depending on the different virtual machine software.
