Right now key events are received, but they are a poor substitute for platform native character input.

[x] Mac
[x] Web
[ ] Windows

In addition setting the text box for IME input may need to be supported as well, probably as a function that can be called on a window. Presently on Mac it appears in the lower left corner, which isn't ideal.

Web may be tricky.

A hidden text field may be required to get text input that matches user expectations.

For now web sends what are probably appropriate characters most of the time, but the solution may be incorrect for some non-English input scenarios. For now web can be considered resolved, but an issue can be opened in the future if new problems emerge.
