is it possible to paste into an rdp session? not share the clipboard with any app in the session, but the session itself, to type those characters.

im using remmina, but i dont care what rdp client i use. i just dont want anything sensitive falling to keyboard timing attacks.

if not, i realize a couple options.

1. keepassx in the appvm. would probably make a dedicated appvm and ssh key for this.
2. xdotool in the appvm.

any other ideas?

I'm using a (dirty) workaround for this:
- Qubes copy from my vault
- Qubes paste it to the dest AppVM
- insert it to a simple terminal/gedit whatever
- copy it again from there
- paste it to the RDP session.

Really annoying - but do not have time and motivation to reveal the
problem behind.
