Thank you for the suggestion. With vconsole.keymap_toggle in QEMU I
do not know what key to press in order to toggle. Right Alt key or
Alt+Shift does not work, so I believe the vconsole kernel parameter is
not used without installing the 90-vconsole.rules udev rules file from
systemd. The rules file runs a program systemd-vconsole-setup it
seems which uses KDFONTOP ioctl:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/vconsole/vconsole-setup.c
I would prefer a toggle keymap that is set to "us" or "fr" or whatever
at runtime. I believe this would be easiest by patching kmscon to not
only accept a layout (like now) but also a (not necessarily
hard-coded) option grp:alt_shift_toggle or grp:toggle (for right Alt
key, if the keyboard has one) or similar. But "us" QWERTY as a fixed
toggle keymap would help too of course.

I hope someone who knows the codebase and what to put where made a
patch. I should have said so.
