I'm _very_ surprised that yozu ask this sort of question, because the 
CLI tool VBoxManage correspronds roughly to QEMU monitor.

What do you mean there exactly? Totally unclear to me. Do you refer to 
the "sendkey" command? Such functionality is currently not implemented, 
but would be not difficult to do. But it seems rather obscure to me, 
because you cannot really send commands to the guest, you can just press 
keys. The reaction on them is thus extremely dependent on guest state.
