In theory, removing characters would also be possible, since the backspace character has a unicode number. In practice, however, this isn't working. Android is either not able to convert the backspace character into a unicode number. I'll have to see if there is a workaround for that.

On another note, I found two bugs. One is that there is one other line I need to change on the KDE side to allow it to act on the keyboard. The other bug is that the X keycodes don't match up with unicode characters. What's more is that the keycode for lowercase `a` and uppercase `A` is the same. This complicates things a bit.
