[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 0/6] Support to change VNC keyboard layout dynamically

[arei.gonglei]

From: Gonglei <address@hidden>

A bonus of this feature is that supporting different
people (in different countries) using defferent keyboard
to connect the same guest but not need to configure
command line or libivrt xml file then restart guest.

Using a new QMP command:
    -> { "execute": "change-vnc-kbd-layout",
                    "arguments": { "keymap": "de" } }
    <- { "return": {}
 
I knew sdl and curses are using keyboard layout, but I don't know
whether they both need to support this feature and add some new
qmp command for them?

If you have some ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
