Similar to this question for VirtualBox:
How do you auto-type the contents of the clipboard from the host into a guest Virtual Box instance?
Is there any way to type the contents of the clipboard to a VMware ESXi guest - either via "VMRC" or the Web console?
I am not wanting to do clipboard sharing, just want to be able to type specific things (e.g. URLs and passwords) into guest VMs (particularly when installing an OS)
Is there any way to do this?
The VirtualBox thread recommended AutoHotKey, which I have seen recommended elsewhere, but I can't get the script to take effect in a VMRC window.
The VMware version is 6.7, which is probably not easy to change. I am currently trying to use a Windows machine to control the VM (hence the reference to AutoHotKey), but could switch to a Linux control environment if that would allow me to do this.
