You are restating what I just said as though you were disagreeing. Why is that?
The OP said he couldn't pass the Cntl-Alt-F2 and I told him how by going into
the QEMU monitor, then you said the key is intercepted by X11, which sounds a
LOT like "do pass through unless to higher level acts on them." At least to me.
The Cntl-Alt-F2 is acted upon by a higher (X11) level.
Relatedly, I sure wish I could pass Cntl-Alt-Left to the host window manager by
some trickery such as using the right Alt-Cntl keys. :-( That passes to the VM
when I don't want it to.
