(In reply to Christophe Fergeau from comment #1) This may be the case, but this bug is still neither fixed in Fedora 22 nor in Fedora 23, the latter approaching final release.
The key (102nd keyboard key) properly reaches QEMU, but it then somehow dropped. This can be reproduced with qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -display sdl -cdrom /home/teuf/redhat/isos/Fedora-Live-Workstation-i686-21-5.iso -m 2G -usb -device usb-kbd and does not happen if -usb -device usb-kbd is dropped.
