Keyboard mapping in QEMU and Mint 19.1

Post by rjolbrich »

Hello,
I just built Chromium OS to be used as a guest OS in QEMU and I'm having English (US) keyboard issues.
All the symbol keys above a number (in that row of keys) that should be produced with the shift key
only result in the corresponding number. I found a workaround by using the QEMU monitor 'sendkey' command.
For example, "sendkey shift-2" results in a "@" being sent to QEMU.
How can I change the keyboard mapping? I found one posthttp://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/fi ... maps.xhtml
that might be out of date. Can someone point me to a more recent discussion of Mint
and QEMU keyboard mapping?

Hello,
I think I may have found a custom solution here https://dgopstein.github.io/articles/chrome-keymapper/.
It is in the comments by a Mr. Penner (a customization for the Chrome-based Chromium OS).
I'll have to understand how to install it first.
