keyboard input (type string) action

[dicktyr]

I guess it's obvious
but please implement an action to send keyboard input
i.e. to simulate typing a given string (not just a single key)

I was about to create an issue myself regarding the key and button actions: it seems that xcb_test_fake_input isn't working.

I should probably create a bug report because XCB's own xtest example doesn't work.

I was looking into implementing this, but it seems impossible in pure xcb because there is no equivalent to XLookupString. Furthermore, the keycode parsing code would also be disproportionately long compared to the rest of the program.
So baskerville should decide how to proceed with this, if at all.
