There's an input method procotol that we intended to use for virtual
keyboards. Try weston's clients/editor.c together with the example
keyboard. You can plug in your own by changing [input-method] in
weston.ini for instance.

Sending key events should be the exception when using a virtual
keyboard. Instead, we rely on input method events to input text. But
even then clients will have to parse those rare key events.
