I have a virtual keyboard for typing Old Church Slavonic and it will be 
used by a wide variety of people wit
English, Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Armenian keyboards 
(among others).

When an end-user lets his/her pointer enter a virtual keyboard button I 
want the key on the physical
keyboard to which that is matched to appear in a textField.

So; for the sake of argument, when I pass my mouse over the letter "Ѭ" 
which I have mapped to the key that yields a rawKey code 112, on my 
English keyboard 'p' should appear in the textField, while on
a Bulgarian's machine a 'з' or a 'п' should appear, depending on which 
keyboard mapping s/he is using.
