Description

I'm not finding anything in the pyvmomi documentation on sending keystrokes to a VM. In powerCLI this can be done using the Set-VMKeystrokes to send keypresses to the vm itself. Is there an example on how to do this using pyvmomi? Or has that functionality even made it into pyvmomi?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the pyvmomi and vSphere API documentation to find if there is a method for sending keystrokes to a VM. If not, explore the possibility of implementing it via the vSphere API or file a feature request.
