Additional : Running the same debian virtual machine under Linux host where "AltGr+<" in order to get "|" on german keyboard seems to work properly, I get the following result running sendkey in console :
Keycode 28 released; Keycode 100 pressed; Keycode 86 pressed; Keycode 86 released; Keycode 100 released; Keycode 100 pressed; Keycode 86 pressed; Keycode 86 released; Keycode 100 released; As you can clearly see, as on Windows host Keycode for Altgr being sent is "29 + 56" whereas it clearly should be sending Keycode "100" instead in order to work properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101210 Title: qemu 1.4.2: usb keyboard not fully working Status in QEMU: New Bug description: When using the usb keyboard, I can't type the | character. I'm using german keyboard layout (de) on the host and inside the guest. As a guest OS, I use Linux (e.g. a recent KNOPPIX cd). To obtain the | character on a german keyboard, I need to press AltGr + the < or > key, i.e. the key right to the left shift. The qemu command line is something like this: ./qemu-system-i386 -device pci-ohci -device usb-kbd I also tried ./qemu-system-i386 -usb -usbdevice keyboard with the same effect.
