After the recent refactorings, a "control event" is not necessarily an
"event" (it may be a "command"). Similarly, the unique "device event"
used to send the device clipboard content is more a "reponse" to the
request from the client than an "event".
Rename both to "message", and rename the message types to better
describe their intent.
Limit source code to 80 chars, and declare functions return type and
modifiers on a separate line.
This allows to avoid very long lines, and all function names are
aligned.
(We do this on VLC, and I like it.)
To handle special chars, text is handled as text input instead of key
events. However, this breaks the separation of DOWN and UP key events.
As a compromise, send letters and space as key events, to preserve
original DOWN/UP events, but send other text input events as text, to be
able to send "special" characters.

The SDL mouse wheel event seems inconsistent between horizontal and
vertical scrolling.
> Movements to the left generate negative x values and to the right
> generate positive x values. Movements down (scroll backward) generate
> negative y values and up (scroll forward) generate positive y values.

Reverse the horizontal.

The video screen size on the client may differ from the real device
screen size (e.g. the video stream may be scaled down). As a
consequence, mouse events must be scaled to match the real device
coordinates.
For this purpose, make the client send the video screen size along with
the absolute pointer location, and the server scale the location to
match the real device size before injecting mouse events.
Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Meta should not be transmitted to the Android
device: they may generate unwanted events. For instance, resizing the
window using Alt+click will generate an Alt event which may open a menu
on the device.
All keycodes that generate a text input must also be excluded, to avoid
the text input to be written twice.
To control the device from the computer:
- retrieve mouse and keyboard SDL events;
- convert them to Android events;
- serialize them;
- send them on the same socket used by the video stream (but in the
opposite direction);
- deserialize the events on the Android side;
- inject them using the InputManager.
