Subject: [Qemu-devel] user definable hotkeys to send instructions to the host OS?
Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 22:17:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200511062217.40088.phil@supstitches.com> (raw)

I would like to be able to program a hotkey that would allow me to shift from 
a fullscreen qemu session to another workspace or X display with access to 
the host OS. I think I can construct the instructions (to X or gdm/kdm etc) 
to instruct the window manager to do what I want, but the problem is that 
qemu seems to grab all the keystrokes and not pass anything to the host OS. 
All my attempts seem to be intercepted by qemu, and not passed to the OS.

Can anybody suggest a way to do what I want, or is it going to take some 
hacking on the source? If so, can you suggest the starting point? If people 
think it would be useful to others I would be happy to try to provide a 
patch.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Phil
