Detailed Description

text input

An object used for text input. Adds support for text input and input methods to applications. A text_input object is created from a wl_text_input_manager and corresponds typically to a text entry in an application.

Requests are used to activate/deactivate the text_input object and set state information like surrounding and selected text or the content type. The information about entered text is sent to the text_input object 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.

Text is generally UTF-8 encoded, indices and lengths are in bytes.

Serials are used to synchronize the state between the text input and an input method. New serials are sent by the text input in the commit_state request and are used by the input method to indicate the known text input state in events like preedit_string, commit_string, and keysym. The text input can then ignore events from the input method which are based on an outdated state (for example after a reset).

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.

Member Function Documentation

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::commit_string (uint32_t serial, std::string const & text, bool post = true)

commit

Parameters

serial serial of the latest known text input state
text

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 could also be an empty text when some text should be removed (see delete_surrounding_text) or when the input cursor should be moved (see cursor_position).

Any previously set composing text should be removed.

Definition at line 7088 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::cursor_position (int32_t index, int32_t anchor, bool post = true)

set cursor to new position

Parameters

index
anchor

Notify when the cursor or anchor position should be modified.

This event should be handled as part of a following commit_string event.

Definition at line 7093 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::delete_surrounding_text (int32_t index, uint32_t length, bool post = true)

delete surrounding text

Parameters

index
length

Notify when the text around the current cursor position should be deleted.

Index is relative to the current cursor (in bytes). Length is the length of deleted text (in bytes).

This event should be handled as part of a following commit_string event.

Definition at line 7098 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::enter (surface_t const & surface, bool post = true)

enter event

Parameters

surface

Notify the text_input object when it received focus. Typically in response to an activate request.

Definition at line 7053 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

std::string wayland::server::resource_t::get_class () [inherited]

Retrieve the interface name (class) of a resource object.

Returns

Interface name of the resource object.

client_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_client () const [inherited]

Get the associated client

Returns

the client that owns the resource.

uint32_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_id () const [inherited]

Get the internal ID of the resource

Returns

the internal ID of the resource

unsigned int wayland::server::resource_t::get_version () const [inherited]

Returns

Interface version this resource has been constructed with.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::input_panel_state (uint32_t state, bool post = true)

state of the input panel

Parameters

state

Notify when the visibility state of the input panel changed.

Definition at line 7068 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::keysym (uint32_t serial, uint32_t time, uint32_t sym, keyboard_key_state const & state, uint32_t modifiers, bool post = true)

keysym

Parameters

serial serial of the latest known text input state
time
sym
state
modifiers

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_surrounding_text, etc. The key event follows the wl_keyboard key event convention. Sym is an 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)

Definition at line 7108 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::leave (bool post = true)

Definition at line 7058 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::modifiers_map (array_t const & map, bool post = true)

set content purpose and hint

Parameters

hint
purpose

Parameters

language

Sets a specific language. This allows for example a virtual keyboard to show a language specific layout. The 'language' argument is an RFC-3066 format language tag.

It could be used for example in a word processor to indicate the language of the currently edited document or in an instant message application which tracks languages of contacts.

Parameters

text
cursor
anchor

Sets the plain surrounding text around the input position. Text is UTF-8 encoded. Cursor is the byte offset within the surrounding text. Anchor is the byte offset of the selection anchor within the surrounding text. If there is no selected text anchor, then it is the same as cursor.

Definition at line 7017 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

std::function< void()> & zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_show_input_panel ()

show input panels Requests input panels (virtual keyboard) to show.

void wayland::server::resource_t::post_no_memory () const [inherited]

Post 'not enough memory' error to the client

If the compositor has not enough memory to fulfill a certail request of the client, this function can be called to notify the client of this circumstance.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::preedit_cursor (int32_t index, bool post = true)

pre-edit cursor

Parameters

index

Sets the cursor position inside the composing text (as byte offset) relative to the start of the composing text. When index is a negative number no cursor is shown.

This event is handled as part of a following preedit_string event.

Definition at line 7083 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::preedit_string (uint32_t serial, std::string const & text, std::string const & commit, bool post = true)

pre-edit

Parameters

serial serial of the latest known text input state
text
commit

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).

The text input should also handle all preedit_style and preedit_cursor events occurring directly before preedit_string.

Definition at line 7073 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::preedit_styling (uint32_t index, uint32_t length, zwp_text_input_v1_preedit_style const & style, bool post = true)

pre-edit styling

Parameters

index
length
style

Sets styling information on composing text. The style is applied for length bytes from index relative to the beginning of the composing text (as byte offset). Multiple styles can be applied to a composing text by sending multiple preedit_styling events.

This event is handled as part of a following preedit_string event.

Definition at line 7078 of file wayland-server-protocol-unstable.cpp.

bool wayland::server::resource_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]

Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.

Returns

true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty

text direction

Parameters

serial serial of the latest known text input state
direction

Sets the text direction of input text.

It is mainly needed for showing an input cursor on the correct side of the editor when there is no input done yet and making sure neutral direction text is laid out properly.
