You might want to take a look at some previous
implementations of
similar ideas (using console keyboard for MIDI). They use the ALSA
sequencer, I believe
http://vmpk.sourceforge.net/
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Vkeybd
Some of that code will be useful, but both of these run in user space
and use the Xorg keyboard inputs. This means that if I have a synth
connected to virtual kb, as soon as I try to change the synth patch, I
loose my virtual keyboard access because keyboard follows focus to the
synth application (which is what we want almost always). That is why I
have to run as a system user.
