Wider copy/paste support, in Console for instance

[Julien Bidault]

I'd like to see a wider copy/paste support, for exemple in console without X installed (typicall server config).

Beeing able to copy/paste from/to shell would be very nice for server config work, as many server daemon use text based configuration.

Use case :

• (on windows host) : copy a config line from a webpage
• (on linux guest, debian etch with Zsh) : open vi, then paste the config line

Another use case :

• (on windows host) : copy a command line from a webpage
• (on linux guest, debian etch with Zsh) : paste it on the shell to execute it

Another use case :

• (on linux guest, debian etch with Zsh)) : copy the result of a command or a log file (from tail, more, cat, whatever)
• (on windows host): paste it on a forum to seek for help

This would turn virtual box into a powerfull tool for learning server admin, or to use it as a copy of a production server where you can test modifications...
