Graphical session screen keyboard about anotherterm HOT 7 CLOSED

To do:

• Split current screen keyboard view into Graphical terminal and ANSI terminal ones in order to isolate possible bugs during further development.
• Split current Graphical terminal screen keyboard into text input and action flavours.
• Finish implementation of the text input keyboard.
• Do possible corrections to the Android IME keyboard.
• Finish implementation of the action keyboard.

Problem

1. Wayland protocol actually provides input method (text input) / clipboard support.
2. Xwayland does not implement it.
3. I hate perpetual patching / recompilation.

Solution

• Add a small custom protocol extension to provide an additional socket descriptor to a dedicated helper.

It needs to be fully implemented.
It seems, it should look like a set of switchable keyboards:

• Text input ANSI terminal like keyboard: each symbol generates a couple of down/up events surrounded by appropriate modifier keys down/up events.
• Action keyboard: down/up events are emitted as keys pressed/released and thus no gesture input is possible.
• Android IME: behavior is similar to text input ANSI terminal like keyboard.
