Description of problem: The following example in 'man virsh' is confusing: # send three strokes 'k', 'e', 'y', using xt codeset virsh send-key dom --codeset xt 37 18 21 From reading the example it reads like the key strokes would be sent consecutively. However they are sent together, and received in an arbitrary order. The send-key documentation should also probably state clearly that the keys are all 'pressed' at the same time, and not consecutively (although this could in theory be inferred from some of the other examples). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed Packages Name : libvirt Arch : x86_64 Version : 0.9.11.5 Release : 3.fc17
Also from IRC, danpb suggested: there probably ought to be a way to signify to virsh send-key to use separate commands for a sequence eg, perhaps we could re-use/abuse --, virsh send-key -- 37 -- 18 -- 21
