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.

Fixed In Version: virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.el6
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: auto-add Hot Key combos (which are automatically set by the RHEV portal when it launches remote-viewer) to the "Send key" menu. Reason: Hot Keys are always captured by virt-viewer, there is currently no way to pass them to the guest. Result (if any): Hot Keys are added to the "Send Key" menu, and these menu entries can be used to pass these key combinations to the guest.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:1379 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-viewer bug fix update 2014-10-14 01:05:43 UTC

Description David Jaša 2012-08-06 13:08:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
auto-add Hot Key combos to "Send key" menu. Because Hot Keys are always captured by virt-viewer, there is currently no way to pass them to the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-viewer-0.5.2-9.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run remote-viewer from RHEV-M User Portal OR from spice-xpi test page with "Hot Keys" field including "release-cursor=shift+f12"
2. try to make shift-f12 key combo reach the guest
3.
  
Actual results:
there's no way to make shift-f12 reach the guest

Expected results:
user can send shift-f12 to the guest

Additional info:
* shift-f12 is a default keyboard shortcut for cursor release in RHEV-M/oVirt
* shift-f12 is used in web browsers to run web developer tools
* shift-f12 is used in OpenOffice/LibreOffice to toggle bullet lists
Comment 5 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-16 15:06:58 UTC 
Note if we just let the ungrab keys pass through, as discussed in bug 889962, then this bug is not worthwhile.
Comment 6 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-05-17 19:41:37 UTC 
David, agree with the above?
Comment 7 David Jaša 2013-05-20 10:23:26 UTC 
Well, that solves ungrab key if I read the linked bug correctly, but what about full-screen key?

only the grab combination was filtered out.(so with the last spice-gtk changes, no keys are filtered out) closing as wontfix?
Comment 9 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-07-22 18:00:10 UTC 
Sent patches to the ML:

Comment 10 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-08-19 10:51:05 UTC 
Note that the RHEVM bug 846006 for this feature had all acks, and that the patches were cherry-picked for 3.3 already. 

Since 3.3 and 6.5 are to be released about the same time, perhaps this feature should also be part of 6.5?
Comment 13 tingting zheng 2014-06-09 08:49:26 UTC 
Tested the bug with:
virt-viewer-0.6.0-5.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. prepare a guest named rhel6.5.
2. # virt-viewer rhel6.5 --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12
3.Check the menu "Send key"
4. # remote-viewer spice://127.0.0.1:5901 --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12
5.Check the menu "Send key"


Step 2 and step 4,The hotkeys work well by pressing keys.
If I click the hotkeys in the menu, it can't work.I can get the below results from xev from guest when I click these hotkeys,the results show that the key combinations have been sent to the guest correctly:
