A text input object is used to manage state of what are + typically text entry fields in the application. + + 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. + </description> + + <interface name="zwp_text_input_v3" version="1"> + <description summary="text input"> + The zwp_text_input_v3 interface represents text input and input methods + associated with a seat. It provides enter/leave events to follow the + text input focus for a seat. + + Requests are used to enable/disable the text-input object and set + state information like surrounding and selected text or the content type. + The information about the entered text is sent to the text-input object + via the preedit_string and commit_string events. + + Text is valid UTF-8 encoded, indices and lengths are in bytes. Indices + must not point to middle bytes inside a code point: they must either + point to the first byte of a code point or to the end of the buffer. + Lengths must be measured between two valid indices. + + Focus moving throughout surfaces will result in the emission of + zwp_text_input_v3.enter and zwp_text_input_v3.leave events. The focused + surface must commit zwp_text_input_v3.enable and + zwp_text_input_v3.disable requests as the keyboard focus moves across + editable and non-editable elements of the UI. Those two requests are not + expected to be paired with each other, the compositor must be able to + handle consecutive series of the same request. + + State is sent by the state requests (set_surrounding_text, + set_content_type and set_cursor_rectangle) and a commit request.
