	Certainly; so the code is here:

	https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=online.git;a=summary

	And I imagine this is a rather interesting problem; personally I'm no
export in IME support in browsers; but the key handling (just had a
quick skim and found: src/map/handler/Map.Keyboard.js) seems to be based
on UNO keycodes.

	I imagine for an IME we will need at a minimum to expose an "insert
unicode string" method at the LOK / server side. 

	Does that make some sense ?

	ATB,

		Michael.
