Subject: no way to send-key comma

Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 01:06:37 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: wishlist

I'm trying to use qemu to automate testing of d-i cd images. To do this
I need to type "install console=ttyS0,9600n8" at the syslinuxa
prompt, which is on the console, to get it to use the serial console.
I can send everything I need except for the comma using the
sendkey command.

Well, ok, it seems it actually works if I just use "console=ttyS0", so
I don't 100% need this, but it's a lack, so I'm filing the bug anyway..

(BTW, where are the key names documented, besides the source? "spc",  and
"ret" are not easy to guess.)

(BTW, I also tried using -curses mode, but it seems that with -curses,
-serial tcp::9999,server does not work, it does not stop and wait for a
connection to that port. And running the whole install at the console in
curses mode is not practical.)

It's also missing "/" "." and ":", which I do need. (To enter a url.)

You can give decimal or hex raw values to sendkey with something like:

  sendkey #51

or

  sendkey #0x33

> It's also missing "/" "." and ":", which I do need. (To enter a url.)

For now you can check from <linux/input.h> for the KEY_ values, until
a fixed packages is uploaded.

The commands support completion, so you can do:

  sendkey <tab>

The numerical stuff is not documented on the qemu-doc.html file, which
I'll correct when fixing this bug.
