Description
Our WPF App runs on a Touch Display without a Virtual Keyboard.
We've built our own Keyboard Control we've displayed on top of the CefSharp browser using their OnVirtualKeyboardRequested event in the past.
At the moment we're trying out WebView2, but there does not appear to be a similar event, we could use for detecting, when a keyboard input is required.
How should I go about this with WebView2 or rather is there anything planned for a scenario like this?
P.S.: I've read that there are issues with displaying other controls on top of WebView2, due to rendering issues. Is our scenario doomed in that case?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the WebView2 keyboard-input behavior relevant to the WPF touch-display scenario and compare it with CefSharp's OnVirtualKeyboardRequested event. Also investigate the reported issue with displaying controls over WebView2; done would require a documented supported approach or a confirmed product direction for the custom keyboard and overlay.
