A generic implementation of the `UITextDocumentProxy` protocol that should work for anything that conforms to `UIResponder` and `UITextInput`. Useful to put text fields inside custom keyboards and then reuse your keyboard's regular handling logic with this text field. See https://github.com/danielsaidi/KeyboardKit/issues/45 for more info.

I haven't used this in awhile now, sorry. (Stopped working on my custom keyboard when iOS added its own emoji search bar.)

Oh I see, thank you anyway! I managed to hack around this limitation, so it's working now :)
