Indeed the bug does not exist in this exact form any more, but it seems the stray '86' keymap entry *does* still cause problems in current qemu in one specific case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658676 basically, if using 'usb-kbd', we still get trouble when openQA (os- autoinst) tries to type a '<' character, because it does this: shift down comma down shift up comma up (note it does *not* do shift down, comma down, comma up, shift up), and qemu gets confused and converts that into this sequence of input_event_key_qcode events: shift down comma down shift up less up and that seems to mess with the key state and cause any subsequent attempts to type a '<' to go wrong. Removing the '86' key definition avoids the bug. ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #1658676 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1658676 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738283 Title: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC Status in QEMU: Fix Released Bug description: If I start QEMU 2.11 (from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/qemu) VM with VNC, I am unable to type following three characters: 'less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) on en_US QWERTY keyboard.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1738283] Re: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC
FWIW, I think this keycode represents the key between the left shift key and the first letter key on the fourth row, if there is one. European keyboards have one, and on e.g. a UK keyboard it types a \ unshifted and a | shifted - this is exactly how it looks in the en-gb keymap file: # evdev 86 (0x56), QKeyCode "less", number 0x56 backslash 0x56 bar 0x56 shift bar 0x56 altgr brokenbar 0x56 shift altgr The definition that somehow gets into the en-us keymap file appears to be actually how the key is intended to work on *German* keyboards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_keyboard_layout Note how the key is labelled with <, > and | characters there. The French layout has the same key labelled with < and > but not |. So basically it seems like that same definition for this key shows up when you ask xkb for an en_US map. Bonus historical note: modern US keyboards don't have a key there at all, they're 101/104-key keyboards, where the left shift key is very wide and the key next to it is the first letter key. But *old* US keyboards, specifically the 83-key 'XT' layout, *DID* have a key there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_keyboard#/media/File:IBM_Model_F_XT.png >From that picture, the key was labelled with \ and | characters, like a modern UK keyboard (presumably this is where the modern UK keyboard derived its use for the key from). I wonder if there's a keyboard nerd out there somewhere with a working US XT keyboard who we could ask to press that key and see what keycode it generates...:) I suppose if it's this keycode, we could arguably report a bug in xkb that for en_US, that keycode should work like a modern UK keyboard (backslash / bar / bar / brokenbar), not a modern German keyboard...:) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738283 Title: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC Status in QEMU: New Bug description: If I start QEMU 2.11 (from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/qemu) VM with VNC, I am unable to type following three characters: 'less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) on en_US QWERTY keyboard.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1738283] Re: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC
Aha. This looks like my bug! I'm running into this in what I suspect is the same situation as Michal Nowak: openQA. But in Fedora. openQA (well, its test runner, os- autoinst) works by running virtual machines and interacting with them over VNC. It seems that with qemu 2.11, typing certain characters doesn't work right, where it worked fine with 2.10. The case I ran into is the < case: when os-autoinst intends to type a < (which it does by sending the keysym for shift and then the keysym 60, for <), it winds up typing a > . This winds up causing os-autoinst's test suite to fail when attempting to build the package on Fedora Rawhide. The test suite passes on Fedora 27 (qemu 2.10).

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1738283] Re: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC
I found something interesting using showkey in the VM. This is all assuming en-US everywhere, note. On a US keyboard, "<" is a shifted comma (shift-,), ">" is a shifted period (shift-.), and "|" is a shifted backslash (shift-\). If I run showkey and try the affected characters in virt-manager, the results are kinda what I'd expect. It reports keycode 42 for the shift key, keycode 51 for comma key, keycode 52 for period key, and keycode 43 for backslash key. If I do shift-, (to get a <), it shows keycode 42 down, keycode 51 down, keycode 51 up, keycode 42 up - just what you'd expect. Ditto for > and |: it shows 42d/52d/52u/42u and 42d/43d/43u/42u in those cases. But if I do this while typing in tigervnc, it reports something quite different. Just pressing the keys alone gives the right codes - 51, 52, 43. But when I try the shifted combinations, it reports keycode *86* for all three keys. That is, so long as shift is held down, pressing the comma, period or backslash key reports keycode 86 - not 51, 52 or 43. Somehow this results in the generation of a > character, not sure how. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738283 Title: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC Status in QEMU: New Bug description: If I start QEMU 2.11 (from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/qemu) VM with VNC, I am unable to type following three characters: 'less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) on en_US QWERTY keyboard.

If I start QEMU with `-k en-gb` at least '<' and '>' work, '|' doesn't (and obviously 'Shift-2' produces '"' not '@'). My host `locale` is 'en_US.UTF-8' top to bottom. I tried to update TigerVNC to 1.8 but no change.

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1738283] Re: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC
Hello,
I confirm the same problem on Fedora 27 Server using Source code release
2.11.0
The problem remains no matter if I use the "-k en-us" parameter or not.
Worked fine up to 2.10.1
If the guess is Windows, then when trying to type the "<" character then
the pipe ("|") appears.
If the guess is Linux, the same key produces the ">" character.
Both operating systems use the US English keyboard layout.
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Miguel

By default virt-manager will *not* enable the '-k en-us' argument, because that forces use of a specific keyboard layout in QEMU's VNC server. For that to work, the VNC client keymap must exactly match the QEMU VNC server keymap, and must also exactly match the guest OS keymap. Instead virt-manager leaves off the "-k en-us" argument, which will cause the VNC servers raw scancode extension to be activated with compatible clients. Virt-manager uses GTK-VNC which activates this extension, and so passes raw XT scancodes from virt-manager to QEMU to the guest OS, which generally makes everything "just work" IOW, if virt-manager works correctly, but tigerVNC does not work correctly, this probably means that tigervnc is not activating the raw scancode extension. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738283 Title: 'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via VNC Status in QEMU: New Bug description: If I start QEMU 2.11 (from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/qemu) VM with VNC, I am unable to type following three characters: 'less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) on en_US QWERTY keyboard.
