It injects key events, such as key-down, key-press, key-up.

In my experience, if the widget with the input focus is writeable,
it might capture the text keys itself and the widget's key event
handlers won't see them, only the other key events (up, down, etc), but
if the widget is read-only, the event handlers _will_ see them too.
