I noticed that I missed this on the man page after I went through them again after reading your post. However my arrow keys still don't work as it usually does on regular consoles. I tried using it in the QEMU monitor, and it worked there. So I tried this, "sendkey up" this _did_ send the up arrow signal to the terminal I had opened in the GUI. So do I have to do this every time? Are there other ways to set it up to make it work the way I want to? This is the first time I am playing around with VMs. Thanks for bearing with my dumb questions. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
