It looks like this is a wontfix bug. The "problem" seems to be that more recent ui frontends (sdl2 which is enabled in -2 compared to obsolete sdl1 used before, and gtk to be enabled later), keyboard handling has been reworked, and qemu now always uses raw keycodes, not preprocessed by modmap and other tools, with guest being able to see all keyboard keys. You have to use xmodmap INSIDE the guest to achieve what you want. Thanks, /mjt
