Keys in the character backend multiplexer
-----------------------------------------
During emulation, if you are using a character backend multiplexer
(which is the default if you are using ``-nographic``) then several
commands are available via an escape sequence. These key sequences all
start with an escape character, which is Ctrl-a by default, but can be
changed with ``-echr``. The list below assumes you're using the default.
Ctrl-a h
Print this help
Ctrl-a x
Exit emulator
Ctrl-a s
Save disk data back to file (if -snapshot)
Ctrl-a t
Toggle console timestamps
Ctrl-a b
Send break (magic sysrq in Linux)
Ctrl-a c
Rotate between the frontends connected to the multiplexer (usually
this switches between the monitor and the console)
Ctrl-a Ctrl-a
Send the escape character to the frontend
