View source for paste into vnc with xdotool

vnc client = TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.9

this should work for other programs not supporting you clipbaord

==problem== 
can't paste into vnc, have to type out commands

==solution==

# install xdotool
# create a keyboard shortcut - this can be done many ways. you can do it directly with the xserver using xbindkeys or you can do it within the "control panel" options of most desktop environments. you need to bind a key combo to the "paste" function.

example for lxqt desktop

under panel menu, select Preferences > LXQT Settings > Keyboard shortcuts, then Add...

set shortcut key combo

enter for command
 sh -c 'sleep 1; xdotool type "$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)"'
or to paste text from mouse highlighted clipboard...
 sh -c 'sleep 1; xdotool type "$(xclip -o -selection primary)"'

# copy and paste!
