(If you're using this for game input, then the input method probably
doesn't work on touchscreens in the first place.  You don't play games with
the onscreen keyboard open.)

I'd imagine you'd call a function to retrieve the button label in that
position, so on QWERTY systems you'd say "press A" and on AZERTY you'd say
"press Q".
