Description weizhang 2013-12-19 03:49:57 UTC

Also reproduce on 
libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.2.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1044806 +++

Description of problem:
send-key can not send os_x code ANSI_A maybe because its code is 0x0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-rhev-1.5.3-21.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-16.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a guest
2. run
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_A
error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'

check with other keys will be ok
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_B
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_C

Actual results:
error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'

Expected results:
send-key will succeed.

# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_A
error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'

check with other keys will be ok
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_B
# virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_C

Patch is upstream for a while already:

    virkeycode: Allow ANSI_A
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044806
    
    Currently, sending the ANSI_A keycode from os_x codepage doesn't work as
    it has a special value of 0x0. Our internal code handles that no
    different to other not defined keycodes. Hence, in order to allow it we
    must change all the undefined keycodes from 0 to -1 and adapt some code
    too.
    
      # virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_A
      error: invalid keycode: 'ANSI_A'
    
      # virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_B
      # virsh send-key guestname --codeset os_x ANSI_C
