 * An event decoder for events out of a software keyboard.
 *
 * This defines the interface for an event decoder that supports events out of a software keyboard.
 * This differs significantly from hardware keyboard event decoders in several respects. First,
 * a software keyboard does not have a scancode/layout system; the keypresses that insert
 * characters output unicode characters directly.
