HP Remote Graphics Software 5.4.8 User Guide

Remote Clipboard operation
For an overview of Remote Clipboard, see Remote Clipboard overview on page 45. Remote Clipboard
enables you to cut or copy data between a window on the Local Computer and a Remote Window
(provided that the applications being used support cut/copy/paste functionality). Beginning with RGS
5.3.0, Remote Clipboard cut and paste of ANSI text data is supported between Windows Receiver
systems and Linux Sender systems. Successful operation of the clipboard on Linux systems in RGS will
depend on how the application interacts with the graphical desktop's clipboard. Some applications'
use of the clipboard may not work as expected with RGS Remote Clipboard. With most applications,
you will need to perform cut or copy actions by Highlighting the text of interest and selecting the Cut or
Copy action normally found in the application's "Edit" menu.
Following installation, Remote Clipboard on Windows can be enabled or disabled via a toggle in the
Receiver's controls.
Remote Clipboard on Linux is installed by default and is enabled or disabled via a toggle in the
Receiver's controls.
Both cut and paste, and copy and paste, are supported in the following scenarios at RGS 5.3.0:
●
Between a Local Window and a Remote Display Window (in both directions) — The Remote
Computer may be running Windows or Linux. The Local Computer must be running Windows.
●
Between two Remote Display Windows (in both directions) — In this case, the Local Computer can
be running either Windows or Linux; the Remote Computers may be running Windows or Linux.
NOTE: For simplicity, the phrase “cut and paste” is used hereafter to refer to both cut and paste,
as well as copy and paste.
The Enable remote clipboard checkbox under the Clipboard tab in the Receiver Control Panel
allows the user to enable or disable Remote Clipboard (see
Figure 6-26 Enable remote clipboard
checkbox on page 159).

Beginning with RGS 5.4.8, the clipboard can be enabled to work on a limited permissions receiver
window for collaboration mode.
See

on page 205, for information on the Remote Clipboard properties.
