Anthony, Luiz, Daniel,  what's your opinion?

How to make it compatible with hum command? Still use 'ctrl-alt-delete'
for hum, separate keys and generate an array in hum_sendkey() before
calling qmp_sendkey()?


And I'm know clear about how to define command in qapi-schema.json,
I didn't find exist example, any clue?

   { 'command': 'sendkey', 'data': { 'keys': [ 'str'], '*hold-time': 
'int'} }
--
   { 'type': 'Key', 'data': {'name': 'str'} }
   { 'command': 'sendkey', 'data': { 'keys': [ 'Key' ], '*hold-time': 
'int'} }
