clipboard-sync

clipboard-sync

A simple clipbarod sync tool for virtualbox guest.

The story

There's clipboard sync feature inside virtualbox, which sounds great. BUT, the sync failed sometimes, for example it failed when doing copy in google chrome. So I wrote up a simple program for doing the sync between virtual box client and your host.
