Wanted to post this as a future reference. Needed to login to a server via the hosts KVM feature. My password was very long and typing it out resulted in a timeout. Found information online about how to paste into a KVM. This tut is for Linux machines. If you are using linux on your workstation there is an OS setting that can allow for one-way paste. I am running Ubuntu 14.04, this is what I did: Code: sudo apt-get install xdotool xclip 2. Open up the Keyboard settings and click on shortcuts tab. 3. Created new custom shortcut named "SendKeys" with this command: Code: sh -c 'sleep 1.0; xdotool type "$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)"' 4. Assign Ctrl+Shift+B to the shorcut Now I can simply press Ctrl+Shift+B and the OS will type out whatever is on my clipboard. Don't hold Ctrl+Shift+B down longer than one second or unexpected things will happen (potentially causing harm), if this causes you issues increase the sleep time in the command.

interesting depends on the the out of band console setup - some hosts have separate ip and port you connect to for the console i.e. Linode's Lish Using the Linode Shell (Lish) so can just use regular SSH client to log into console and have full cut and paste support.
