Cut and paste between browser and noVNC instance in browser?

Questons about the "Remote Camera Robot" project

Greetings! Scope of topic: In perhaps what is a gross violation of forum etiquette, (ONE  question per topic), my intention for this topic is to allow me to ask questions, and hopefully gather answers about, the “Remote Camera Robot” project files and functionality as an ongoing topic. Rather than spam the fora with a whole slew of postings that ask one question - I am hoping to be able to ask all  about this project in one place.  This way, someone else who may be interested in this general …

Though this is highly relevant to that topic, I felt it was generic enough to justify a topic of its own.

Issue:
I am using noVNC as natively installed on my GoPiGo to do development work in Thonny.  The browser window I am using is open in Firefox under Win-10.  (No retching from the Mac aficionados, please! )

I also have a multitude of other windows open, doing searches, looking up documentation on whatever the confusion du jour might be, and so on.

Ultimately, I end up finding a piece of code in one window - or a complex URL - that I want to copy-and-paste into Charlie’s VNC instance.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out how to do this.

My total “hack” solution is to copy the information into an ad-hoc document, place it on a shared SMB drive, and then reach for it while within the noVNC instance on Charlie.  IMHO, this is a three-cornered hack-job that is worthy of Rube Goldberg at his best.  What I want to do is directly cut-and-paste something from my host computer into Charlie’s VNC instance within my browser.

Any suggestions?
