How do you get a shared clipboard with QEMU? It’s easy with VMware and VirtualBox, just install the guest tools?

Here’s the trick with QEMU? There’s not just one set of guest tools, but three in total: QEMU guest tools, oVirt guest tools, and SPICE guest tools. If you only installed the first two, you’re not going to get the shared clipboard. Go download and install the SPICE guest tools to get the shared clipboard.
