I would like to be able to send simulated keypresses to wayland clients.

A) wlc would need to support this. B) We could open wayland internals more, we already pretty much expose libinput and xkb to keep simple.

The use-case for this is an on-screen keyboard, fwiw.

Weston implements on-screen keyboards too. It might be useful to see how they solved it.

For approach B), https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc/blob/feature/wayland-extensions/include/wlc/wlc-wayland.h could include function that returns input resources for view. From there on you can do anything wayland-server.h allows.
