      I'm not sure if this should go in the development thread or here in the XO one so I just put it here. I have been following the XO Lite and XO 6 development and love the design and progress that is being made.

      In the last few updates, I've seen a bunch of updates on the layout and the backend and I wanted to see if the VM Console was being updated.

      Some options like guest screen autoresize (with guest tools) and other options for copy/paste such as sending in keystroke into a console screen. Ideally I would just need this type of access until I can ssh or vnc/rdp into the VM but it's nice to have some of those creature comforts when setting up OSes.

      Thanks and great work!

        I'm not sure you can autoresize inside the guest just by moving the VNC view. However, XO Lite is already able to grow/reduce the "window" (scale basically). XO too I think 🤔

        For copy/paste, I think it mostly depends on the guest OS capability to capture the clipboard.

          I am imagining something like esxi / vsphere where I think it's their guest tool does a resize on window size change. I think I've done it with tightvnc where it can autoscale AND it can auto resize as well. Based on looking protocols like nx, spice, and tigervnc support it as well.

          Understood for the copy paste, is it possible to have another button in current UI next to the copy that is paste (understanding the current UI IS changing). All this button would do is send the keystrokes to the VM either from the text in the console copy field or from the clipboard (I've fine with ctrl+v, the clipboard to the multiline window).
