You know what is THE stupidest and most fucking anoying thing ever? (And partially my fault) I recently reinstalled Ubuntu on my device, meaning I lost my SSH keys. Today I wanted to make a quick change to a website hosted on digitalocean. Now as per good practice I had disabled the root account and the only way to log in is via SSH or using their web terminal. Obviously I couldn't use SSH so I had no choice but their awful web terminal. Not only is it laggy as balls but it would keep hanging up meaning I had to close it and start again. As if that wasnt fucking frustrating enough all I wanted to do was add my new SSH so I could just use my terminal. But NO you can't fucking paste anything into their terminal! Like what the fuck? How can you not have this basic functionality in 2017???

    Most web terminals don't and they also don't catch ctrl+w leading to either connection close or tab closing, I personally never had a laggy experience on it even from mobile devices, but my guess would be your server was already choking, which I did have that problem then. Also you can just use their root password reset or ssh keys feature in the webpanel, sounds like an awkward PEBCAK imho.

    How should they support it when VNC does not?

    Try SHIFT + INSERT for pasting
