There is no key code "shift-semicolon".

The "QEMU QMP Reference Manual" lists the key codes:

    {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "JSON parse error, duplicate key"}}

Repeated keys don't make lists, lists do:

    {"execute": "send-key",
     "arguments": {"keys": [
         {"type": "qcode","data": "shift"},
         {"type": "qcode","data": "semicolon"}]}}
