I have a problem with an ImGui::InputText for which I would like to change the text displayed by using a Virtual Keyboard (also created with ImGui). I have a window containing the InputText and another one containing the virtual keyboard (both inside an SDL window).

When I press the buttons on the virtual keyboard I change the buffer I attached to the InputText by adding a character at the end of it. Is there a nicer way to alter the InputText content by taking into account also the position of the cursor inside it and keeping the state of the input text cursor?

I'm a newbie here, sorry if I didn't follow all the guidelines for this question.
