Add a menu called "Send Key". It is populated with options the user supplies at
runtime. The option works like this: -sendkeymenu <title>:<key values>. The
title can be anything you want. The values are the hexadecimal values for the
keycodes. The title is added to the menu as an menu item. The keycodes are sent
to QEMU.

Example: -sendkeymenu Command-Option-Esc:0x37,0x3a,0x35:Command-Power:0x37,0x7f7f

Two menu items would be added to the "Send Key" menu with this example.

This feature could be used to send Control-Alt-Delete to a Windows guest. It can
also be used to send Command-Power keys to a Mac OS 9 guest to display Macsbugs. 
The user can decide what menu items to place in this menu. If the user doesn't
use this feature the "Send Key" menu is not displayed.

Do we have this feature in any of our other front end UIs?
I don't really want to get into adding features to the Cocoa
UI frontend that don't exist anywhere else. (We've had this
discussion before, I think.)

thanks

When a feature is added that doesn't exist before, it is called innovation :)

It would make things easier on the people working on Mac OS 9 support.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-10/msg00239.html
is our previous discussion on this.

The situation here hasn't changed at all in the
intervening nine months.

Ok. It was worth a try.
