Efficient Clipboard Pasting for vSphere VMs
Paste to vSphere VM is a free Chrome extension designed to facilitate the pasting of clipboard content, such as passwords, directly into the vSphere VM HTML console. By simulating keyboard input, this tool enhances user efficiency when working with virtual machines. It is based on the "Paste To VM" extension, but with optimizations to improve performance and security.
This extension utilizes native JavaScript instead of jQuery to ensure compatibility with version 3 and to maintain a higher security standard. One key feature is its clipboard-clearing functionality after the first paste, which helps protect sensitive information. Users are advised to reload the console tab for proper initialization and to use the designated keyboard shortcuts for pasting without interacting directly with the VM console window.
