It has to work with key symbols instead. This can't work in general, see the source code for why. Its mapping to Linux keycodes assumes you're using the usual US keymap. > I think that the mechanism that keyboard layout is selected like > qemu-dm is necessary. > How do you think about it? Nobody coded it yet. It would sure be useful.
