This command is typed after boot_wait, which gives the virtual // machine some time to actually load. // // The boot_command is an array of strings. The strings are all typed in // sequence. It is an array only to improve readability within the template. // // There are a set of special keys available. If these are in your boot // command, they will be replaced by the proper key: // // - `` - Backspace // // - `` - Delete // // - ` ` - Simulates an actual "enter" or "return" keypress. // // - `` - Simulates pressing the escape key. // // - `` - Simulates pressing the tab key. // // - ` - ` - Simulates pressing a function key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing an arrow key. // // - `` - Simulates pressing the spacebar. // // - `` - Simulates pressing the insert key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the home and end keys. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the page up and page down // keys. // // - `` - Simulates pressing the Menu key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the alt key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the ctrl key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the shift key. // // - ` ` - Simulates pressing the ⌘ or Windows key. // // - ` ` - Adds a 1, 5 or 10 second pause before // sending any additional keys. This is useful if you have to generally // wait for the UI to update before typing more. // // - `` - Add an arbitrary pause before sending any additional keys. // The format of `XX` is a sequence of positive decimal numbers, each with // optional fraction and a unit suffix, such as `300ms`, `1.5h` or `2h45m`. // Valid time units are `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`. For // example `` or ``. // // - ` ` - Any printable keyboard character, and of these // "special" expressions, with the exception of the `` types, can // also be toggled on or off. For example, to simulate ctrl+c, use // `c`. Be sure to release them, otherwise they // will be held down until the machine reboots. To hold the `c` key down, // you would use ``. Likewise, `` to release. // // - `{{ .HTTPIP }} {{ .HTTPPort }}` - The IP and port, respectively of an // HTTP server that is started serving the directory specified by the // `http_directory` configuration parameter. If `http_directory` isn't // specified, these will be blank! // // - `{{ .Name }}` - The name of the VM. // // Example boot command.
