Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a problem with the Windows Bitlocker PIN entry screen. The picture isn't sent to PiKVM, I can live with that, but the question is if there's a possibility to send keyboard events to the connected device without receiving a picture? So, will can enter PIN from keyboard, virtual keyboard, or from pasting text option on PiKVM GUI.

Describe the solution you'd like
Like above: the ability to send keystrokes from a hardware keyboard, a virtual keyboard, and a paste feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative is to enter the PIN on the device keyboard 🤪

PiKVM already sends events even you have no video. The reason why you can't login is Bitlocker's bug. You can try to disable mass storage and extra mouse and check if it works: https://docs.pikvm.org/usb/
