I'm looking to implement a custom cross-platform keyboard with Flutter.

As far as I can tell there are two major parts:

- getting the keyboard view and (window) behavior

on IOS done with the ContainingAppForKeyboard template

on Android with ?

- sending key-events and interacting with text-input

on IOS done with the UIKeyInput protocol

on Android with InputMethod

Further would it be nice to have access to the built-in lexicon,

this seems easy with a native plugin.

How can this best be done?

What are considerations I should make?

Regards,

Adam V.

And a related question from the gitter channel the other day [which might be a quicker intermediate step]:

How can a developer disable the native keyboard? This would allow them to draw their own custom flutter widget instead and handle input through it.

Thanks,
Victor
