[PATCH 0/2] ui/cocoa: Add option to disable left command and hide cursor


From: Carwyn Ellis
Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ui/cocoa: Add option to disable left command and hide cursor on click
Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2022 17:41:51 +0000

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.
