6.8 Virtual Keyboards

When a virtual machine is started, the host creates a virtual keyboard that matches the
keymap entry according to the virtual machine's settings. If there is no keymap entry
in the virtual machine's settings, the host uses the keymap entry specified in host's
xend file ( xend-config.sxp). If there is no keymap entry in either the host's
xend file or the virtual machine's settings, the virtual machine's keyboard defaults to
English (US).
Unless you manually specify it, a keymap entry is not specified in the host's xend file
or for any virtual machine. Therefore, by default, all virtual machine settings use the
English (US) virtual keyboard. It is recommended that you specify a keymap setting
for xend and for each virtual machine, especially, if you want to migrate virtual machines
to different hosts
To view a virtual machine's current keymap entry, enter the following command on
the Domain0:
xm list -l vm_name | grep keymap
You can specify a keymap entry to be used for all virtual machines and keymap entries
for specific machines.
• To specify a global keymap entry for virtual machines on the host, edit the host's
xend-config.sxp file.
• To specify a keymap entry for a specific virtual machine, edit the virtual machine's
settings by following instructions in
by Modifying its xend Settings"
