Is there a way to disable the alt-f4 in qemu-kvm?
I am qemu-kvm for years in Fedora. There they transfer the alt-f4 command to the guest. But in arch, the alt-f4 will directly close the qemu's window. I would like to know how to disable the alt-f4. Thank yoU!

Alt-f4 closes windows not sure what Window Manager you are using in Gnome for example you could edit keyboard shortcut

I am using metacity. I wonder if there is a app specific way. I don't want to disable all alt-f4.
In fedora with metacity and their QEMU, alt-f4 will only close window in guest not the host window.

It might be a focusing issue I see Ctrl + Alt is used as a switch to get back to host machine, again this may clash with keyboard shortcuts in Gnome

If you're using Gnome, go to System/Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts and remove the alt-f4 shortcut. If you're not on Gnome, you'll have to figure out how to disable the shortcut in your DE/WM.

I know, But I don't want to disable alt-f4 for other programs.
