title: Use the system keyboard without a UITextView or UITextField
body: <p>I am creating an app with core graphics that needs to take text input and place characters at specific pixel offsets.</p>
  
  <p>Do I have to subclass UITextField or something and re-invent the wheel (redefine it to be a more abstract text entry widget - really I only need the events a UITextField generates) or can I somehow show the keyboard, receive it's events and dismiss it myself!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
