Devices without physical keyboards probably need *some* way to bring up the
virtual keyboard at any time like one would by flipping out a physical one.
This would be needed to execute application shortcuts, or initiate a global
search if there was not dedicated button, for example. Long pressing on the
options key is as good a way to do this as any.
