<description summary="Protocol for creating input methods">
|
|
This protocol allows applications to act as input methods for compositors.
|
|
|
|
An input method context is used to manage the state of the input method.
|
|
|
|
Text strings are UTF-8 encoded, their indices and lengths are in bytes.
|
|
|
|
This document adheres to the RFC 2119 when using words like "must",
|
|
"should", "may", etc.
|
|
|
|
Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
|
|
backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
|
|
may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
|
|
Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
|
|
the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
|
|
Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
|
|
version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
|
|
interface version number is reset.

|
|
An input method object allows for clients to compose text.
|
|
|
|
The objects connects the client to a text input in an application, and
|
|
lets the client to serve as an input method for a seat.
|
|
|
|
The zwp_input_method_v2 object can occupy two distinct states: active and
|
|
inactive. In the active state, the object is associated to and
|
|
communicates with a text input. In the inactive state, there is no
|
|
associated text input, and the only communication is with the compositor.
|
|
Initially, the input method is in the inactive state.
|
|
|
|
Requests issued in the inactive state must be accepted by the compositor.
|
|
Because of the serial mechanism, and the state reset on activate event,
|
|
they will not have any effect on the state of the next text input.
|
|
|
|
There must be no more than one input method object per seat.

<description summary="input method has been requested">
|

Notification that a text input focused on this seat requested the input
|
|
method to be activated.
|
|
|
|
This request must be issued every time a text input requests an input
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
This request resets all state associated with previous enable, disable,
|
|
set_surrounding_text, set_text_change_cause, set_content_type, and
|
|
set_cursor_rectangle requests, as well as the state associated with
|
|
preedit_string, commit_string, and delete_surrounding_text events. In
|
|
addition, it marks the input method object as active.
|
|
|
|
The set_surrounding_text, set_content_type and set_cursor_rectangle
|
|
requests must follow before the next done event if the text input
|
|
supports the respective functionality.
|
|
|
|
State set with this event is double-buffered. It will get applied on
|
|
the next zwp_input_method_v2.done event, and stay valid until changed.

|

When the seat has the keyboard capability the text-input focus follows
|

the keyboard focus.

Sets the surrounding plain text around the cursor, excluding the

preedit text.

|
|
If any preedit text is present, it is replaced with the cursor for the
|
|
purpose of this event.
|
|
|
|
The argument text is a buffer containing the preedit string, and must
|
|
include the cursor position, and the complete selection. It should
|
|
contain additional characters before and after these. There is a
|
|
maximum length of wayland messages, so text can not be longer than 4000
|
|
bytes.
|
|
|
|
cursor is the byte offset of the cursor within the text buffer.
|
|
|
|
anchor is the byte offset of the selection anchor within the text
|
|
buffer. If there is no selected text, anchor must be the same as
|
|
cursor.
|
|
|
|
If this request does not arrive before the first done event, the input
|
|
method may assume that the text input does not support this
|
|
functionality and ignore following surrounding_text events.

Values set with this event are double-buffered. They will get applied
|
|
and set to initial values on the next zwp_input_method_v2.done
|

event.
|
|

|
The initial state for affected fields is empty, meaning that the text
|
|
input does not support sending surrounding text. If the empty values
|
|
get applied, subsequent attempts to change them may have no effect.

|
|
Whenever the client detects an external change in text, cursor, or

anchor position, it must issue this request to the compositor. This
|

request is intended to give the input method a chance to update the

preedit text in an appropriate way, e.g. by removing it when the user

Text input state (content purpose, content hint, surrounding text, and

change cause) is conceptually double-buffered within an input method
|

context.
|

Events modify the pending state, as opposed to the current state in use

by the input method. A done event atomically applies all pending state,

replacing the current state. After done, the new pending state is as
|
|
documented for each related request.
|

Events must be applied in the order of arrival.

Neither current nor pending state are modified unless noted otherwise.

after a key press or the result of some composing.

The state relating to these events is double-buffered, and each one

The connected text input is expected to proceed by evaluating the

1. Replace existing preedit string with the cursor.

2. Delete requested surrounding text.
|

3. Insert commit string with the cursor at its end.

4. Calculate surrounding text to send.

5. Insert new preedit text in cursor position.
|
|
6. Place cursor inside preedit text.

The serial number reflects the last state of the zwp_input_method_v2
|
|
object known to the client. The value of the serial argument must be
|

equal to the number of commit requests already issued on that object.
|
|
When the compositor receives a done event with a serial different than

the number of past commit requests, it must proceed as normal, except

it should not change the current state of the zwp_input_method_v2
