The problem you're addressing (if any)
Currently the data in the clipboard can be pasted only once to any VM; the data is cleared after that.
Describe the solution you'd like
In some cases it would be useful to paste the clipboard data multiple times.
Where is the value to a user, and who might that user be?
The feature may save time for the user wanting to paste the clipboard into multiple VMs (e.g. to execute a command on different terminals).
I see that the feature may affect privacy of clipboard data to some extent.
Maybe the new feature should be configurable, or there should be a new key combination like "paste&keep" to paste the clipboard into the local one, but keep the data.
Maybe there could also be a key combination to "forget" the clipboard contents (if there is a new default to keep the contents).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Pasting to a VM and then immediately re-copying might do the trick.
