Is there any way using JSONRPC to send keystrokes as if there was a keyboard connected?

Yes, see: http://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v6#Input

That's not 100% correct. You can only send texts or text parts to edit controls and the onscreen keyboard using Input.SendText but you e.g. can't send "c" to open the context menu on an item. These things can only be done using Input.ExecuteAction with the appropriate action.
Always read the online manual (wiki), FAQ (wiki) and search the forum before posting.
