Description

The client actually already send repeated press event to the guest. So it is possible to tweak a guest already. However, there are differences between how Linux/X and Windows handle repeat. In Windows case, the OS relies on BIOS/hw level settings, so in fact, you can disable key repeat completely in Windows, and you will see the key repeat is still happening, and is actually the key repeat of the client: what you ask. But on Linux/X, the key repeat is done at X level, so you can configure the guest to diable key repeat or change the rate and it will take effect. Iow, it doesn't care about client key repeat events. So I think this RFE is already solved from Spice side, you only need to figure out how to configure X to to not filter out the hw key repeat events. oVirt 4.2.0 has been released on Dec 20th 2017. Please consider re-targeting this bug to next milestone. Closing this as this is a very specific issue to ASML and no other customer ever complained about this one. As fixing would consume lots of resources I am closing this as WONTFIX. If you have a proper business justification and need this fixed, feel free to reopen with the according justification.
