Your code can redirect the keystrokes via im by setting the input focus
whereever desired and calling im_DoKey:

    struct view *currentIF = im_GetInputFocus(im);
    view_WantInputFocus(targetview, targetview);
    im_DoKey(im);
    view_WantInputFocus(currentIF, currentIF);

Unfortunately, this technique will entail a lot screen changes as the
insets adjust to loss and gain of input focus.
