What happens if you have your VM focused, and then select the item from the ClipboardFusion history menu? ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-make-macro-work-inside-virtualbox/?ID=01975553-8a57-7480-b407-afc143f589f4 Mon, 09 Jun 2025 15:33:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/how-to-make-macro-work-inside-virtualbox/?ID=01975553-8a57-7480-b407-afc143f589f4 ClipboardFusion Hello!
I have ClipboardFusion installed on my laptop.
I have Auto-Type Clipboard FAST macro imported (https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Macros/View/?ID=cb81f9da-794c-42b6-a63b-58aa355a28aa)
I have Oracle VirtualBox instaled on my laptop. For the sake of an argument let's assume that I have no control over VirtualBox setting, and I don't have shared clipboard allowed between my main OS on laptop and VirtualBox.
My idea was that I make this macro, which just use SendKeys to type what is in my clipboard,to be set on CTRL + Q, and when I press these buttons inside VirtualBox, it will "paste" my clipboard content for me by typing it. But it didn't work.
Macro works on ny main machine.

Is there any way I can make CTRL+Q command to execute that macro in VirtualBox? Now I guess it just CTRL+Q in VirtualBox and since i don't have ClipboardFusion installed there and does nothing. ]]>
