[Qemu-devel] [Bug 678363] [NEW] Swapping caps lock and control causes qemu confusion

[Ralph Loader]

Public bug reported:

Running Fedora14 [host], I have caps-lock and control swapped over in my
keyboard preferences.

Qemu doesn't cope very well with this; running an OS inside Qemu (again
fedora, suspect that it doesn't matter):

The physical caps-lock key [which the host uses as control] toggles
caps-lock on both press and release.

The physical control key [which the host uses as caps-lock], acts as
both a caps-lock and control key.

Qemu should either respect my keyboard layout or else ignore it
completely.
