     * software keyboard. If the system cannot show a software keyboard currently,
     * this call will be silently ignored.

     * The software keyboard will never show if there is no composable that will accept text input,
     * such as a [TextField][androidx.compose.foundation.text.BasicTextField] when it is focused.
     * You may find it useful to ensure focus when calling this function.

     * You do not need to call this function unless you also call [hide], as the
     * keyboard is automatically shown and hidden by focus events in the BasicTextField.
     *
     * Calling this function is considered a side-effect and should not be called directly from
     * recomposition.
