VNC Paste
VNC consoles use canvas elements — no clipboard, no paste. And terminal passwords are invisible. You can’t see what you’re mistyping in a 64-character string.
VNC Paste dispatches synthetic keyboard events directly to the canvas. Character by character, zero typos.
Why Ctrl+V
Doesn't Work
Web-based VNC consoles don't use input or textarea elements. They render everything to an HTML canvas.
Canvas elements receive keyboard events. They don't receive clipboard events.
When you press Ctrl+V inside a canvas-based VNC viewer, the browser intercepts it - because the browser thinks you're trying to paste into the webpage, not the remote machine. The VNC client never sees the paste. It can't forward what it never received.
This isn't a bug. It's how the DOM works. DigitalOcean, Vultr, Proxmox, OVH, Linode - same technology, same blind spot.
How It Works
1. Open the panel → Launch via QLT (Ctrl+Shift+Space, type “vnc” or “vp”). A floating panel appears — dark theme, draggable, stays on top.
2. Paste your text → Ctrl+V into the textarea. Multi-line supported. API keys, config files, shell scripts — anything you'd type manually.
3. Click Type → A 3-second countdown starts. Loom-style overlay — semi-transparent, click-through. During the countdown, click inside your VNC console to give it focus.
4. Watch it type → Keyboard events dispatch to the canvas. Each character fires keydown and keyup. Uppercase and special characters get Shift events. Newlines send Enter with a 2-second pause for server processing.
Built for Every Console
noVNC → Standard #noVNC_canvas — detected first.
DigitalOcean Peregrine → Canvas inside peregrine-vnc-session-canvas container.
Proxmox PVE → Canvas inside #novnc_container or #pveVNC.
Generic fallback → First canvas element on the page. Works with any VNC client.
Lowercase + numbers → Direct keydown/keyup pairs.
Uppercase + special characters → Wrapped in Shift keydown/keyup events automatically.
Newlines → Enter keypress followed by a 2-second pause for server processing.
Tabs → Tab keypress — handles indented config files.
Any length → 10 characters or 10,000. Stop button aborts mid-stream.
The 2 AM Scenario
You need to paste a recovery script. 23 lines. Includes a base64-encoded certificate string - 76 characters of mixed case, numbers, and symbols. One wrong character and the cert is invalid.
And then there's the password prompt. Terminal passwords don't echo. It's a standard security feature - every character you type is invisible. You're entering a 32-character password you can't see, into a console that can't paste, at 2 AM while your production server is down.
Without VNC Paste: you type it all manually. You mistype line 14. You retype lines 14 through 23. The password fails twice because you can't see your own input. It takes 11 minutes.
With VNC Paste: copy the script, paste it into the panel, click Type. 23 lines, zero typos, under 30 seconds. The password goes in perfect the first time - because machines don't mistype.
