I looked into the log file (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/) and it showed the
following warning.

Warning: no scancode found for keysym 0

I also tried to install Debian again and tested the key during this and
it was also not recognized there (normal or graphical) – also then this
warning was not written to the log. The warning appears only if I hit
Shift + `.

So this problem seems to be related to qemu. Maybe this bug [1] is
related to this.

If yes, could you please reassign this bug. If you have an ideo how I
get the = key to be entered into qemu that would be perfect.


Thanks,

Paul
