When I use AWS workspace in X11, The clipboard contents can be shared across host and guest VMs. In wayland, the clipboard is not syncing with AWS VM.

Is it the way like this? is there any workaround? Could someone please enlighten me?

Only GNOME supports clipboard sharing with guests, because GNOME unifies X11 and Wayland clipboards in the compositor. None of the other Wayland DEs are supporting it since it requires special handling in their respective compositors.

How do you connect to AWS Workspace? Never used it before.

Have you tried opening a bug with them to see if just got broke in your display manager?

I have not opened the ticket. I though I should understand bit more. Is it a bug/feature-request to be opened (Sharing clipboard with guest VM)? How it should be handled? any thoughts?
