How to send CTRL-ALT-DEL (or other special key combinations)? #106

The IP KVM panel of phosphor-webui seems to be missing a feature to send special code sequences like CTRL-ALT-DEL (CAD) to the target. Some of the special key combination needed in daily life seem to be filtered out either by the OS or the browser. CAD for example is essential to activate the login process on all versions of Windows Server.

Thought we supported CTRL+ALT+DEL. https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-webui/blob/master/app/server-control/directives/kvm-console.js#L29

Maybe it isn't working. Could you add some debug statements in there?

Hi I noticed that webui-vue is offering a "Send Ctrl+Alt+Delete" link on the upper edge of the KVM screen. Therefore problem solved.
