It is not in plugin but on different level. With non-HID keyboards using 
kbdd it works too. Once I open uinput device in kbdd (which creates some 
devices/queues in /dev/input/) the switch is automagically done. You 
even don't need to type anything on the keyboard so no keypress event is 
generated. I would be also interested to know how this works.

And the same bug with text area widgets in Opera happen with kbdd/uinput 
based keyboard. But this could be expected since for userspace it should 
look same as real input from HID. I am talking about the bug that 
produces extra garbage characters when pressing special keys like caps 
lock in multiline text fields in Opera.
