My short adventure to virsh source code lead me to find out that the escape character is configurable, so it's more than just changing a text.
Escape character is Ctrl + ]Well, as we can clearly see, not everyone is familiar with the caret notation.
We could teach the caret notation (at the expense of minimalism): Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ])
So, I definitely support such a change.
The best way to show your support is by sending a patch ;) Jano
