core.step call system.poll_event

    Two kind of events related to keyboard input: "textinput" and
    "keypressed/released. The event "textediting" is ignored in the lite
    application because it is for incomplete text composition.
    
    If the event is "textinput" and the previous keyboard event was treated
    by keymap (within the `core.on_event` function) the event is not
    treated. In all other cases ("textinput" or "keypressed/released") the
    event is passed to `core.on_event`.
    
    The logic above seems to be there to prevent treating a "textinput" if a
    previous keyboard event was previously treated and recognized as a
    command.

    call `core.on_event`
    
        if type == "textinput":

        call `core.root_view:on_text_input`
        
        and in turn:
        
        call `core.active_view:on_text_input`
            passed down to the corresponding method of the view
        
        if type == "keypressed":

        call `keymap.on_key_pressed`
            recognize and execute the commands stored in the "keymap"
