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

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.
How do i enter different letters to the virtual keyboard, I can send the first using http but each subsequent command overwrites the first?
until the moment not able to make the kodi va typing each letter grip on the keyboard, I use commandfusion with javascript and to solve I type the whole word and press enter the keyboard command and sent with the word already complete. but before I send the command typed letters do not appear in kodi. ha how to solve this?
