Re: [Xen-devel][PATCH]Cannot send special keys, such as Ctrl+Alt+Del

Here is the patch useful to send special keys that your graphical user
interface intercepts at low level, such as ctrl-alt-del in X Window.

This patch adds a command "sendkey" to deal with it in the monitor, you
can send keys to the vm. Use - to press several keys simultaneously.
Example:
sendkey ctrl-alt-f1

Is this generally useful? If you are proposing this as a general way to get around useful key sequences getting stolen by the local gui, it doesn't seem the kind of interface that users will want. Can we remap such key sequences in some way to make them accessible to users without needing to run a monitor program and type in sequences longhand?
