Iced Keyboard Input and Subscriptions?

[watisnu]

First of all, thank you so much for putting this out there. nih-plug is great but barely updated and hunting down forks for compatibility fixes becomes very tiring. I'm seriously impressed by the work you're putting into this! 🙏

One very specific reason as to why I chose this lib is that it allowed me to use Iced and at the same time get away from egui's buggy keyboard handling.

However, I haven't found a way to actually subscribe to keyboard events or any other subscriptions for that matter. Am I missing something here? Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey! I haven't really thought very hard about QWERTY keyboard handling other than for text input boxes. I'll have a think about this. Would you be able to share the use case and/or what you plan on doing with keyboard input? Just so I know what kinds of shapes would satisfy your need.

In my case it's a guitar tab editor which requires input from keys across the whole keyboard. But also in general, many people like keyboard shortcuts and some can't do without, so it's good to add keyboard navigation for accessibility reasons.

I think I have a better idea now, opened #141 to work on this
