A model for text input. Adds support for text input and input methods to
applications. A text_model object is created from a text_model_factory and
corresponds typically to a text entry in an application. Requests are used
to activate/deactivate the model and set information like surrounding and
selected text or the content type. The information about entered text is
sent to the model via the pre-edit and commit events. Using this interface
removes the need for applications to directly process hardware key events
and compose text out of them.
Requests the model to be activated (typically when the text entry gets
focus). The seat argument is a wl_seat which maintains the focus for
this activation. The surface argument is a wl_surface assigned to the
model and tracked for focus lost. The activated event is emitted on
successful activation.
Requests the model to be deactivated (typically when the text entry
lost focus). The seat argument is a wl_seat which was used for
activation.
Requests input panels (virtual keyboard) to show.
Requests input panels (virtual keyboard) to hide.
Should be called by an editor widget when the input state should be
reset, for example after the text was changed outside of the normal
input method flow.
Sets the plain surrounding text around the input position. Cursor is the
byte index within the surrounding text. Anchor is the byte index of the
selection anchor within the surrounding text. If there is no selected
text anchor then it is the same as cursor.
Content hint is a bitmask to allow to modify the behavior of the text
input.
The content purpose allows to specify the primary purpose of a text
input.
This allows an input method to show special purpose input panels with
extra characters or to disallow some characters.
Sets the content purpose and content hint. While the purpose is the
basic purpose of an input field, the hint flags allow to modify some
of the behavior.
When no content type is explicitly set, a normal content purpose with
default hints (auto completion, auto correction, auto capitalization)
should be assumed.
Sets a specific language. This allows for example a virtual keyboard to
show a language specific layout. The "language" argument is a RFC-3066
format language tag.
It could be used for example in a word processor to indicate language of
currently edited document or in an instant message application which tracks
languages of contacts.
Notify the model when it is activated. Typically in response to an
activate request.
Notify the model when it is deactivated. Either in response to a
deactivate request or when the assigned surface lost focus or was
destroyed.
Transfer an array of 0-terminated modifiers names. The position in
the array is the index of the modifier as used in the modifiers
bitmask in the keysym event.
Notify when the visibility state of the input panel changed.
Notify when a new composing text (pre-edit) should be set around the
current cursor position. Any previously set composing text should
be removed.
The commit text can be used to replace the preedit text on reset
(for example on unfocus).
Sets styling information on composing text. The style is applied for
length (in bytes) characters from index relative to the beginning of
the composing text (as byte index). Multiple styles can be applied
to a composing text.
This event should be handled as part of a following preedit_string
event.
Sets the cursor position inside the composing text (as byte index)
relative to the start of the composing text.
This event should be handled as part of a following preedit_string
event.
Notify when text should be inserted into the editor widget. The text to
commit could be either just a single character after a key press or the
result of some composing (pre-edit). It also sets the new cursor
position (as byte index) relative to the beginning of inserted text.
Any previously set composing text should be removed.
Notify when the cursor or anchor position should be modified. It
should take effect after the next commit_string event.
Notify when the text around the current cursor position should be
deleted. Index is relative to the current cursor (as byte index).
Length is the length of deleted text (in bytes).
Notify when a key event was sent. Key events should not be used
for normal text input operations, which should be done with
commit_string, delete_surrounfing_text, etc. The key event follows
the wl_keyboard key event convention. Sym is a XKB keysym, state a
wl_keyboard key_state. Modifiers are a mask for effective modifiers
(where the modifier indices are set by the modifiers_map event)
Sets the language of the input text. The "language" argument is a RFC-3066
format language tag.
Sets the text direction of input text.
It is mainly needed for showing input cursor on correct side of the
editor when there is no input yet done and making sure neutral
direction text is laid out properly.
A factory for text models. This object is a global singleton.
Creates a new text model object.
