Hello I'm new in using this amazing tool, I would like to use the clipboard feature but when I paste any text I didn't find a button to send my text to the vm.


Is there something I'm missing?? 
I checked this link: https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/wiki/Fixing-the-clipboard-under-linux
and I couldn' find .vnc/xstartup file.


Can someone explain me How can use it?? 
Thanks in advance

Any text you write in there will be sent to the clipboard on the vnc server.

That looks like a virtual machine of some sorts, and they often lack
clipboard support, especially in text mode.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Thank you for the answer but is there a way to add this support in my virtual machine?? or even in the host directly??  or does it work only with virtual machine with gui?

I'm afraid that's up to your virtual machine software and not noVNC, so
you'll have to check with them.
