Supersedes earlier submissions and splits the patch into two separate
patches covering
- addition of left-command-key option to disable forwarding this key
to the guest
- fix for persistent mouse cursor when switching from and back to the
QEMU window
Having made the switch to an M1 Mac I needed to switch from VMware back
to QEMU in order to run some intel guests.
This patch addresses a couple of niggles with the cocoa UI, namely:
- Using command-tab to switch between the guest OS and MacOS sends the
command keypress to the guest which can be annoying e.g. on a
windows guest this may trigger the start menu
- Switching between the guest and MacOS sometimes leaves the MacOS
mouse cursor visible with no way to hide it without switching
windows again
I've made the following changes
- Added a new cocoa display option left-command-key which can be used
to disable the left command key in the guest. Default is on.
- Added a call to ungrabMouse in the applicationWillResignActive method
which frees the mouse and unhides the cursor when switching away from
the QEMU window. When switching back the user must left-click in
to grab the mouse and hide the cursor again. After testing several
different approaches this was the only way I could find to reliably
hide the cursor every time the user returns to QEMU after switching
to another app on the host machine.
- Updated the command line docs to reference the show-cursor option
which is also respected by the cocoa UI code.
