HI Sasha,

Ive found a better solution:

It is possible to pipe the qemu-monitor:

qemu ... -monitor pipe:.winpipe/path

so Im able to send commands through the path.in pipe via
sendkey-kommand, i.e.

echo "sendkey r" > .winpipe/path.in
echo "sendkey d" > .winpipe/path.in
echo "sendkey shift-dot" > .winpipe/path.in
echo "sendkey ret" > .winpipe/path.in

Its not very komfortable, but does its job :-)

Tfh!

Regards,

Oliver
