Hmm, you're right, we have 'readline' mode and 'control' mode. The latter won't have the cursor-editing, but it's the QMP protocol monitor (intended for controlling QEMU from other programs, different syntax to the human monitor protocol). That's irritating because the underlying monitor.c code thinks of readline and QMP-vs-HMP as orthogonal, but vl.c's parsing doesn't. (Syntax: -chardev stdio,id=monchr -mon chardev=monchr,mode=$MODE where $MODE is either 'readline' or 'control'.) -- PMM
