The problem is that keystrokes in a GUI are not read from
stdin, they are read as events from the GUI event loop.
So, if LO was a CLI tool (like vim or top, say) then you
are right, you could pipe the keystrokes through stdin,
but in a GUI those keystrokes would never be seen (or
if seen do something very different to what is expected)
