Is there any way to copy and paste from outside the VM into the Genymotion Emulator?

Genymotion also runs Robotium tests visibly faster, and with a smoother UI. However, be warned there are some noticable differences between Genymotion and the default Android emulators: You cannot use the special 10.0. 2.2 IP address with Genymotion to access localhost on the machine you are running the emulator from.
According to the StackShare community, Android Studio has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1265 company stacks & 4055 developers stacks; compared to Genymotion, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
Press on floating icon to start copy. Start copy text from screen. Full screen helps to copy header text. Press edit button to copy, paste, share and translate selected text.
Copy/pasting text from the host into the virtual device is possible since version 2.1.0. (Note that simply updating Genymotion does not suffice, you also have to recreate the virtual device after updating to 2.1.0 or greater.)
Pasting can be performed via long tap/click + PASTE in the virtual device.

Since Genymotion is not support this action (even if you open VirtualBox, settings for your VM and set Shared Clipboard, it still does not work with Genymotion 2.0.3 I'm using)
So, I use an alternative way, if your text is not secret, you could use an online note like http://shrib.com/
Paste your text there then open link on Android VM, copy on it and paste to place you want. Take several step but if you don't want to type a long text (like mine, is a long SQL)
