[Qemu-devel] [Bug 696530] [NEW] qemu-0.13.0-r2 special keys different when using -alt-grab

[Phillip Merensky]

Public bug reported:

I use -alt-grab with qemu-0.13.0-r2 and special keys like Ctrl-Alt-f for
full screen did not work for me with a windows guest. They work normally
when omitting the -alt-grab startup parameter.

After quite a long time, I found out that I have to add the shift key to
the keys from the documentation when I use the -alt-grab option.

Probably -ctrl-grab behaves similarly. It would be really nice to have
this documented in the default documentation in the man page as has not
been documented there yet.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue - sorry it takes a while to get these
addressed.

I've looked at the code, and the modifiers are handled specially
depending on the command line option, so I think it is the intended
behaviour. I've update the docs (and submitted a patch) to make it
clearer.

Comment #1 sounds like this issue has been dealt with? Is there still
something left that needs to be fixed here?
