* [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] ui/cocoa.m: Give laptop users ability to scroll in monitor @ 2015-03-13 4:35 Programmingkid 2015-03-13 9:51 ` Peter Maydell 0 siblings, 1 reply; 25+ messages in thread From: Programmingkid @ 2015-03-13 4:35 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Peter Maydell; +Cc: qemu-devel qemu-devel Laptop users usually have keyboards that are missing the page up and page down keys. This means they cannot scroll in the monitor. This patch gives laptop users the ability to scroll in the monitor by having the user push the Control + Up/Down arrow keys to scroll one line at a time. Use ALT/Option in place of Control to be able to scroll at 10 lines at a time.

I will say past Apple laptop did have the ability to page up or down by using the function key + the up or down arrow keys. It looks like Apple removed that ability. I tried using function key + up, control key + up, option key + up, and command key + up.

The docs[1] still refer to fn+up/down as the way to achieve page up/down, so perhaps your install has simply lost the shortcut mappings ?

Works for me on a 2011 MacBook Air running Mavericks, anyway. (Terminal is not necessarily the best app to choose to demonstrate this, because its behaviour is to pass the page-down/page-up through to the application in the terminal.) -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Are you saying you are able to scroll up and down in QEMU's monitor using your MacBook Air's keyboard? If your computer does have built-in emulation for the page up/down keys, would it still be ok to help the people whose computer don't have this feature? http://xahlee.info/kbd/laptop_keyboards.html This document states that the page up and down keys (as well as several other keys) have been removed from several manufacturer's laptops. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Just to understand what's going on, can you try using the GTK+ interface on Mac OS X? You should be able to scroll the terminal, if you have libvte installed, with Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn (i.e. Shift+Fn+Up/Shift+Fn/Down). Paolo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Well known and longstanding -- the Cocoa UI assumes it is the only thing present (and it hooks itself into the startup sequence by overriding main() with its own function). Yes, ideally we'd refactor it to work like the other UIs, but in practice nobody really wants to use anything other than the Cocoa UI on OSX so nobody's got round to it. -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

That sounds about right. I would just like to add that nobody wants to have to install GTK and its dependencies after going thru the dependency nightmare that is QEMU. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

I've now tested again with my not-just-the-laptop setup, and: * in the guest OS (I tested with a Linux guest), PageUp/Down work OK and work the same whether I use an external USB keyboard with a physical PgUp/Down key or the MacBook Air's keyboard with Fn+UpArrow/Fn+DownArrow as the chord to input pageup/down * in the monitor window, neither way of inputting PageUp/Down works: all you get is a ',' input into the monitor So my conclusion is that we should fix the underlying problem that the monitor isn't handling PgUp/PgDown correctly (not sure exactly why that's not working yet). If your particular OSX version really doesn't implement the Fn+Up/Down == PageUp/Down chord then I think you should address that at the OSX level, not in QEMU (there are likely several OSX utilities that will do the job). thanks -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

So looking at the code in ui/console.c that implements our virtual consoles, the scrolling is hooked up to the keycodes QEMU_KEY_CTRL_{UP,DOWN,PAGEUP,PAGEDOWN}. These only seem to be output by one of our UI frontends, SDL. Gerd, how is this supposed to work? Shouldn't something in the generic console code be handling converting the Q_KEY_CODE_CTRL/CTRL_R + Q_KEY_CODE_PGUP/DOWN/etc into what the vc layer expects, rather than having each of the ui frontends doing it? thanks -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

Unfortunaly it isn't that easy as we have two very different modes of operation here: For vc's we need the keyboard input already mapped to your local keyboard layout (i.e. the keysyms). For guest input we need the raw scancodes of the keys as the keyboard layout handling is done by the guest. The differences between the UIs (especially when it comes to raw scancodes) are big enough that it is next to impossible to hide all that in common code. Specifically for the vc control keys there is a little helper function though: kbd_put_qcode_console(), used by sdl2 and gtk, which might be useful for cocoa too. cheers, Gerd ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread

I was just looking back at this, and I'm confused -- kbd_put_qcode_console() doesn't seem to do anything with the QEMU_KEY_CTRL_* keycodes... And indeed ctrl-pageup/pagedown/up/down don't work in the GTK UI, though they do work in the SDL1 UI. -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 25+ messages in thread
