Description
**Describe the issue**
I'm running a macOS Monterey VM using virtualization rather than emulation, so clipboard sharing isn't available to me as Spice tools can't be installed. To work around this, I added the following macro to Keyboard Maestro:

However, when I invoke it, all characters that are supposed to be typed with the Shift key are typed without — `https://example.com/?a=1&b=2` is typed as `https;//example.com//a=17b=2` (with a US keyboard layout — presumably what actually turns up will vary for others).
I'm not sure if this is an issue with Apple's Virtualization framework or UTM, though. Is there a workaround for this (preferably one that gets clipboard sharing working :)
(TBH, my main reason for wanting clipboard sharing is so I can paste passwords from 1Password 7 on the host system. I tried installing it on the VM, but wasn't able to log in to iCloud to get at my vault, as it just says "Verification Failed. The action could not be completed." I was able to find people having similar troubles with Parallels, so I suspect this is a Virtualization framework limitation. Unfortunately, QEMU was far too slow when I tried it, so I have to use Virtualization.)
**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 3.2.4 (58)
* OS Version: macOS 12.4 (21F79)
* Intel or Apple Silicon? Apple Silicon
