[orca-list] Passing keys to guest in virt-manager

[Vsevolod Popov <sevapopov13 gmail com>]

Hello.
Today I installed Qemu and later virt-manager. Initially I wanted to try 
out qemu without using a virt-manager to test it in console, but I got a 
thing that I couldn't really understand. I couldn't get if a virtual 
machine was really running or not, so I decided to try virt-manager out 
first.
I finally could configure everything including network in libvirt and 
create a VM in virt-manager, it even says that it launches, but one 
thing I cannot understand is how can I pass keys to guest system?
I try to install fedora 34 as a test and when I press alt+f2, the run 
dialog appears on my arch system but not in guest.
I had the same experience with qemu launched from console, I had an 
empty window and I didn't know if the machine was running or not, I 
tried to press alt+f2 but I couldn't achieve that the key pressing would 
be passed to guest.
Maybe I understood something wrong, how should it work?
Is there any key to start/stop capturing keyboard input for 
qemu/virt-manager like in VirtualBox or VMWare?
Thank you for any help!
