[Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/5] Improve Cocoa modifier key handling


From: Gerd Hoffmann
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/5] Improve Cocoa modifier key handling
Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2017 09:56:49 +0200

From: Ian McKellar via Qemu-devel <address@hidden>

I had two problems with QEMU on macOS:
 1) Sometimes when alt-tabbing to QEMU it would act as if the 'a' key
    was pressed so I'd get 'aaaaaaaaa....'.
 2) Using Sikuli to programatically send keys to the QEMU window text
    like "foo_bar" would come out as "fooa-bar".

They looked similar and after much digging the problem turned out to be
the same. When QEMU's ui/cocoa.m received an NSFlagsChanged NSEvent it
looked at the keyCode to determine what modifier key changed. This
usually works fine but sometimes the keyCode is 0 and the app should
instead be looking at the modifierFlags bitmask. Key code 0 is the 'a'
key.

I added code that handles keyCode == 0 differently. It checks the
modifierFlags and if they differ from QEMU's idea of which modifier
keys are currently pressed it toggles those changed keys.

This fixes my problems and seems work fine.
