Spice's default behavior is to grab all keyboard input when focused. This is so that shortcuts like ctrl+alt+left will be passed to the guest and not to the host. There's a setting to turn it off, but I'm not really interested in adding UI for it in virt-manager figuring this request is the only one I can think of to expose that behavior. Pretty much all other clients behave the same as well. You could try filing a bug with upstream spice-gtk asking them to add a --disable-keyboard-grab option, which all clients then get for free (mostly). Then you could invoke virt-manager with --disable-keyboard-grab and things would mostly work for your use case. But it would break alt+tab inside the guest, so there's a tradeoff. You could also try using the spicy client which allows configuring this Closing as WONTFIX for virt-manager |
