The command qm sendkey --skiplock ${true} ${vm_id} ${key} is used to send a key press event to a virtual machine (VM) running on the Proxmox VE hypervisor.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• qm sendkey is the Proxmox command used to send a key press event to a VM.
• --skiplock is an option that allows the command to be executed even if the VM is locked. It bypasses any lock present on the VM.
• ${true} is a placeholder variable indicating that the --skiplock option is enabled.
• ${vm_id} is another placeholder variable representing the ID or name of the VM that should receive the key press event. You need to replace ${vm_id} with the actual VM ID or name.
• ${key} is also a placeholder variable for the key that should be sent to the VM. You need to replace ${key} with the actual key press event you want to send.

By executing this command with the appropriate values, you can send key press events to a specific VM even if it is locked, allowing you to perform certain actions or simulate user input within the VM.
