commit 973564094f29d63d610a92909252bdf21e27d2fb
Author: Lai Jiangshan <laijs.com>

    send-key: Defining the public API
    
    Add public virDomainSendKey() and enum libvirt_keycode_set
    for the @codeset.



Support for mouse events is still TBD

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2016-03-22 22:20:48 UTC
qemu 2.6 will have the input-send-event command, which AFAICT can be used for mouse input

    qapi: promote input-send-event to stable


Will probably require a new libvirt API, I doubt we can shoehorn this into virDomainSendKey

Thank you for reporting this issue to the libvirt project. Unfortunately we have been unable to resolve this issue due to insufficient maintainer capacity and it will now be closed. This is not a reflection on the possible validity of the issue, merely the lack of resources to investigate and address it, for which we apologise. If you none the less feel the issue is still important, you may choose to report it again at the new project issue tracker https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues The project also welcomes contribution from anyone who believes they can provide a solution.
