If you have problems with: Drag and drop Copy and paste Keyboard input lag And you are using vmware workstation 17.x with linx guest:

  1. Make sure you are set setting "Enable drag and drop" and "Enable copy and paste" in "Virtual Machine Settings -> Options -> Guest Isolation"
  2. Make sure you have this lines in .vmx file of your VM:
keyboard.vusb.enable = "TRUE"
keyboard.allowBothIRQs = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.copy.disable = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.dnd.disable = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.paste.disable = "FALSE"
