I'm worried there's more to it than that. IIUC today Qt apps talk to the
OSK directly on dbus, thanks to this being set on its env:
QT_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet
The input does not go through normal input systems at all, it goes
~directly from OSK to the input field. Even Qt apps would need to poke
out of it to comm with the OSK process. Non-Qt apps would need their own
maliit support implemented...
There may be other ways, we could make the OSK fall back to generating
real input events if there's no app on the other end (that might
actually be the most versatile approach), or we could have XMir proxy
the input...
Long-term we'd probably like for the input comm to go through Mir over
some standardized API so we can support 3rd party OSKs (unless we
actually say maliit is the "standardized API").
Lotsa questions, not many answers.
