[Qemu-devel] Cocoa keymap

[Joachim Henke]

Hi, I tried the current Qemu CVS sources on my iMac G5 (Mac OS X  
10.4.3) and was really happy about the cocoa improvements. Thank you  
for this great work! But while doing some x86 emulation (running  
Linux and Win98 as guests) I encountered a small error: On my German  
Apple keyboard the [^] key didn't work, while pressing the [<] key  
produced a ^. This was really annoying since I need the [<] key for  
redirections and pipes. I played around with showkey and xev and got  
the correct keycodes:

With this patch applied my keyboard now works correctly with the  
guest OS. I'm not sure if Apple has some inconsistency in the  
keycodes of their localised keyboards, and this patch would break US  
or other versions. It would be nice, if somebody could give it a try.


Best regards
