virt-manager: copy and paste functionality

How does one enable copy and paste with virt-manager?

I have spice-vdagent installed and running. And I have the video on QXL. I'm still not able to copy and paste. I've tried with both qemu and qemu user and it's a no go.

I am running wayland on KDE.

Is xdg-desktop-portal-kde running on the host? That might be required for copy/paste on Wayland.

Thanks. I'll try next time I use virt-manager.
