OK, everybody, please calm down.... please remember that this thread started from my simple patch that wants to implement something that I personally feel useful. So, from both pros and cons side, I try to read and study your arguments. Meanwhile, I have another idea. I admit I never redirect Qemu monitor to certain char device. perhaps, if I could simply write a HOWTO on how to use this feature to implement simple monitor shortcuts, then it will be acceptable solution. I imagine the steps would be: 1. redirect monitor to a certain char device 2. make a script that send commands to this device 3. bind new KDE or GNOME shortcuts to call this script.
