SENDING Special keys to guest via xo-web
-
Hi All, First Post!!
I Love Xen Orchestra, first off.
I'm trying to send special keys other than c+a+d to a running guest/VM in XO-Web in the console module. for example, access ctl+alt+f1-f6 in a Linux environment, or even send an alt+minus to pop the window frame menu to close a window. I have read that xen orchestra uses no-vnc to view a guest's virtual VGA but have been unable to find a keystroke alternatives list like ctl+alt+insert to send the three-fingered salute
I was able to send some keys in XenCenter but it's still not quite there.
Thanks for your patience in helping a noob

There is so much you can do through a web browser, I think your best bet is to click
SSHorSSH as...to open up putty instead. -
Yeah that's more tricky in a web browser. The correct way to do it is to display a virtual keyboard, something we will do in the next UI revamp.

olivierlambert buttons like the existing ctrl+alt+del to switch consoles on Linux would be awesome! (ctrl+alt+F2, etc.)

I think it's already planned in XO 6 (you might find the issue on GH)

tony ssh is not always an option especially for premade ISOs from vendors. DellOpenManage VM for instance was vmware only and ssh was not enabled.
