By "processing all keyboard events" do you mean invoking the commands
those events are bound to?  If so, I don't think we have machinery to
do that in Emacs: there's too much of global state that would get in
the way.

AFAIU, such facilities need to have a separate event loop that
generally runs in a separate thread.
