It's not currently possible to send keyboard events as such at the gtk
level. Although that seemed easy enough to implement, I couldn't make it work
at the time. 

It is posible, though, to use javascript snippets to control the
widget. This is the method that is used to fill textarea components in
the webkit widget with text from Emacs.

This method might also be used to simulate keyboard events in the
widget, here is a link I found:
