[Qemu-devel] keyboard shortcut suggestion

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

With the latest changes to the output of serial and the QEMU console, you'll 
need to use CTRL SHIFT and depends on what you wish, F1, F2, and F3..

That cause problems with stuff like:

* Changing keyboard languages in Windows as a guest (pressing CTRL SHIFT in 
Windows with support for Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Thai makes the whole line/s 
"ident" to the right or left, depends which combination you pressed)
* Hebrew/Arabic/Farsi/Thai support in QT based apps (RTL extension)..

So, I suggest to change the keys to CTRL ALT and 1,2,3 etc (since CTRL ALT 
F1-F3 is being taken by the VT's)..

Fabrice, comments?

Thanks,
Hetz

I tried the new VT stuff this am.  It's nice, but I must also agree
that the keys are really confusing -- Ctrl-Shift interacts bizarrely
with Ctrl-Shift-{1,2,3}.

Hetz's suggestion is good.  Or, can we have a small sidebar on which
we can click to change views, and avoid completely the problem of
deciding on magic keystroke combinations ?

Euro 0.02, etc.

Using the the mouse ("click") is banned for keyboard-only users.
