Create instance of WindowEvent::KeyboardInput.

[TornaxO7]

Hello! I'm currently trying to bump up the winit dependency in wgpu.

As you can see here, we are emulating a WindowEvent:

        example.update(winit::event::WindowEvent::KeyboardInput {
                            input: winit::event::KeyboardInput {
                                scancode: 0,
                                state: winit::event::ElementState::Pressed,
                                virtual_keycode: Some(winit::event::VirtualKeyCode::Space),
                                modifiers: winit::event::ModifiersState::empty(),
                            },
                            device_id: unsafe { winit::event::DeviceId::dummy() },
                            is_synthetic: false,
                        });

I tried to update this part of code and got the following result:

                        example.update(winit::event::WindowEvent::KeyboardInput {
                            event: KeyEvent {
                                physical_key: PhysicalKey::Code(KeyCode::Space),
                                state: ElementState::Pressed,
                                logical_key: Key::Named(NamedKey::Space),
                                text: None,
                                location: KeyLocation::Standard,
                                repeat: false,
                                platform_specific: false,
                            },
                            device_id: unsafe { winit::event::DeviceId::dummy() },
                            is_synthetic: false,
                        });

However, I've got a problem with platdform_specific: false here, since it's a private attribute and I couldn't find a new constructor or something like that for it. May I ask what's the proper way to fix this with the latest winit update?

This is so cursed...

Why not just use a logical_key? Maybe some other state you actually need instead of doing synthetic event like that.

I could think of creating such events for testing purposes, and hide the platform_specific field for tests, but not sure what to do with general code, since platform specific fields sometimes are required...

I'd just suggest to not do what you're doing in this example, since there's clearly some abuse going on.

well then. I'll try to refactor this as well (or try something else). Thank you for the information!
