Re: [uievents] Need way to determine what keys are supported on device. (#8)

This could be very helpful. One of the problems it runs into is working with IMEs. Another is straight-up keyboard switching, as I do on some devices. In particular when using an external keyboard plugged into a television, is the information *available* to the platform?

Another concern (to go with fingerprinting) is whether a user can effectively make use of all the keys on a device - for example, an eye-tracking user may be simulating keyboard events and may even have a real keyboard connected to the device, but it may be difficult or impossible to determine whether the user has a given key.
