Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2014-02-06 19:36:54 UTC

qemu-kvm 1.6.1-3.fc19.x86_64 uses a gtk gui as default, a change from
the former SDL.  It's nice and all, but has at least one alarming
consequence.  Whereas the SDL gui passed keycodes freely to the guest,
the gtk one (with its menu bar) swallows the quite common ^Q and
interprets it as a kill-the-vm command.  Whoops!

This surprising behavior+change should be well-documented in the man
page, and ideally made configurable.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2014-02-07 09:53:05 UTC

Looking at the QEMU code I don't see any attempt being made to disable accelerators/modifiers. There are 3 separate things that need to be disabled in GTK to ensure the guest sees every possible key sequence. QEMU will want to copy virt-viewer code for this probably

Patch posted upstream here, it just changes the shortcut to ctrl+alt+q:
