If you select option "-k pt-br" at qemu commandline you get keycode 89 but there is no more keycode 26 (dead_acute dead_grave) and keycode 51 fails on "less" sign. If you have a numeric keyboard you can use its "slash" key but there is no means to use the question mark, causing discomfort when you are scripting or programming.
