RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.

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
