Description David Jaša 2012-08-06 13:10:28 UTC
just to have this tracked in windows builds...


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #846005 +++

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

Dependent bug missed 6.4, when this goes into 6.5 we can see if we can get a .Z but it's not likely.
