[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] ui/cocoa.m: enable guest to see control-alt key combinations

[John Arbuckle]

Currently if the user needs to send a control-alt key combination, he or she was either out of luck or had to rely on the monitor's sendkey command to do so. With this patch the user can now directly send control-alt key combinations. This is great for Windows guest that may need the control-alt-delete key combination.

  move ungrab to ctrl-alt-g
  send ctrl-alt key combinations to guest if not used by QEMU

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] ui/cocoa.m: move ungrab to ctrl-alt-g

[John Arbuckle]

Currently the cocoa user interface relys on the user pushing control-alt to ungrab the mouse. This is patch changes the key combination to control-alt-g to be in line with the GTK user interface.

Testing this I have found that it makes the grab key be
"ctrl+alt+ the key labelled 'g'", even if in the
OSX host keyboard mapping that key doesn't produce the
letter 'g'. This is in contrast to for instance the menu
accelerators which honour the host keyboard layout, and
it's also not what the GTK UI does. So I think we need
to fix that.

I just realized that the cocoa interface does not consider the keyboard layout. Switching from QWERTY to DVORK I still see the same keys outputting the same characters in OpenBIOS. This is a separate patch but sometime to take note.

Is it the cocoa interface or OpenBIOS? In case you are using an emulated 
USB keyboard, the very simple driver in OpenBIOS only has a US layout so 
this may be the reason (see openbios/drivers/usbhid.c). I'm not sure about 
ADB keyboards but you may want to try a few combinations to identify where 
the problem is before looking for it in QEMU's cocoa interface.

It was with the cocoa interface.

I'm not sure about ADB keyboards but you may want to try a few combinations to identify where the problem is before looking for it in QEMU's cocoa interface.

It looks like there is no problem with sending keys to the guest. The cocoa interface behaves as it should.

There's a difference between "what do we send to the guest"
(where we're obliged to send raw keycodes, but the user can
configure their guest with an appropriate keymap if they like)
and "what do we do as part of the QEMU UI" (where there is
no ability for the user to set a keymap and we should honour
the host UI keymap settings).

If you look at the behaviour of other VM implementations
like Parallels I think you'll find it's the same.

I think the way we need to implement this is that instead
of doing "switch (keycode)" and looking for Q_KEY_CODE_1...
we should do something like

if (ctrl and alt pressed) {
    NSString *keychar = [theEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers];
    if ([keychar length] == 1) {
        switch ([keychar characterAtIndex:0]) {
        case '1' .. '9':
            console_select(...);
            return;
        case 'g':
            /* handle ungrab */
            return;
    }
}
