Do not underestimate me in the ways of the force. In particular, do
not underestimate using a tab based session manager like RemoteNG, on
my Windows laptop, to multiplex RDP and SSH sessions to all the hosts
I need to access at a particular moment. That avoids having to use the
virtual machine's console, and keeps the clipboard handling on the
local display environment through the SSH and RDP sessions.
