[PATCH 00/15] Hardware keyboard input for input methods

[Jan Arne Petersen]

From: Jan Arne Petersen <jpetersen at openismus.com>

Hardware keyboard input allows input methods to grab the keyboard
and process hardware key events to generate text events (with
pre-edit) over the same text_model interface we use for the virtual
keyboard. This allows input methods which compose multiple key
events for inputting text like it is done for CJK languages.

There is a weston-simple-im which uses the hardware keyboard input
to support classic X compose key like combinations:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key#Common_compose_combinations

It makes allot of sense to reuse the wl_keyboard interface in the
input_method_context grab_keyboard request. But I am not so sure about
the wl_keyboard interface used in the get_keyboard request in
text_model. Maybe it would be better to merge the key event from 
wl_keyboard into text_models keysym event and just add also keymap
and modifiers event to text_model.
