Re: Remap a key

[Jakob Bohm]

There is no such mechanism in the qemu documentation, but there is this way:

1. Use the appropriate hot-key to switch to the qemu monitor screen
2. Type this command at the "(qemu)" prompt
(qemu) sendkey ctrl-alt-delete

This can of cause be automated by having software on the guest connect to the
qemu monitor and send the command when you press your magic key.

Another available method is to use the VNC console and a VNC client with a
ctrl-alt-del function.
