Hello,
I confirm the same problem on Fedora 27 Server using Source code release
2.11.0
The problem remains no matter if I use the "-k en-us" parameter or not.
Worked fine up to 2.10.1
If the guess is Windows, then when trying to type the "<" character then
the pipe ("|") appears.
If the guess is Linux, the same key produces the ">" character.
Both operating systems use the US English keyboard layout.
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Miguel

Title:
'Less than' (<), 'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) can't be typed via
VNC
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
If I start QEMU 2.11 (from
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/qemu) VM with
VNC, I am unable to type following three characters: 'less than' (<),
'more than' (>), and 'pipe' (|) on en_US QWERTY keyboard. Other
characters work fine. QEMu version 2.10.1 worked fine.
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -m 2048 -cpu kvm64 -drive
media=cdrom,if=none,id=cd0,format=raw,file=OI-hipster-
minimal-20171031.iso -device ide-cd,drive=cd0 -boot once=d,menu=on
,splash-time=5000 -device usb-ehci -device usb-tablet -smp 1 -enable-
kvm -vnc :91,share=force-shared
The ISO can be downloaded here: https://www.openindiana.org/download/
Also tried Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-25-1.3.iso and it's the same
situation.
If I run the same command without '-vnc :91,share=force-shared',
everything works just fine.
