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which are based on an outdated state (for example after a reset).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 Enumeration Documentation
enum wayland::proxy_t::wrapper_type [strong], [inherited]
Underlying wl_proxy type and properties of a proxy_t that affect construction,
destruction, and event handling
Enumerator
standard
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*. Events are dispatched and
it is destructed when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
display
C pointer is a wl_display*. No events are dispatched, wl_display_disconnect is
called when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
foreign
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*, but another library owns it
and it should not be touched in a way that could affect the operation of the other
library. No events are dispatched, wl_proxy_destroy is not called when the proxy_t
is destructed, user data is not touched. Consequently, there is no reference
counting for the proxy_t. Lifetime of such wrappers should preferably be short to
minimize the chance that the owning library decides to destroy the wl_proxy.
proxy_wrapper
C pointer is a wl_proxy* that was constructed with wl_proxy_create_wrapper. No
events are dispatched, wl_proxy_wrapper_destroy is called when the proxy_t is
destroyed. Reference counting is active. A reference to the proxy_t creating this
proxy wrapper is held to extend its lifetime until after the proxy wrapper is
destroyed.

Member Function Documentation
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::activate (seat_t const & seat, surface_t const & surface)
request activation
Parameters
seat
surface
Requests the text_input object 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 text_input object and tracked for focus lost. The
enter event is emitted on successful activation.
Definition at line 8136 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
wl_proxy* wayland::proxy_t::c_ptr () const [inherited]
Get a pointer to the underlying C struct.
Returns
The underlying wl_proxy wrapped by this proxy_t if it exists, otherwise an exception
is thrown
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::commit_state (uint32_t serial)
Parameters
serial used to identify the known state
Definition at line 8190 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::deactivate (seat_t const & seat)
request deactivation
Parameters
seat
Requests the text_input object to be deactivated (typically when the text entry lost
focus). The seat argument is a wl_seat which was used for activation.
Definition at line 8142 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::string wayland::proxy_t::get_class () const [inherited]
Get the interface name (class) of a proxy object.
Returns
The interface name of the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_id () const [inherited]
Get the id of a proxy object.
Returns
The id the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_version () const [inherited]
Get the protocol object version of a proxy object. Gets the protocol object version of a
proxy object, or 0 if the proxy was created with unversioned API.
A returned value of 0 means that no version information is available, so the caller must
make safe assumptions about the object's real version.
display_t will always return version 0.
Returns
The protocol object version of the proxy or 0

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.

std::function< void(int32_t, int32_t)> & zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_cursor_position ()
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 8242 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::function< void(int32_t, uint32_t)> & zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_delete_surrounding_text ()
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 8247 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::function< void(surface_t)> & zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_enter ()
enter event
Parameters
surface
Notify the text_input object when it received focus. Typically in response to an activate
request.
Definition at line 8202 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::function< void(uint32_t)> & zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_input_panel_state ()

zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_keysym ()
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)

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 8232 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::function< void(uint32_t, std::string, std::string)> &
zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_preedit_string ()
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 8222 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.

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 8227 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
std::function< void(uint32_t, zwp_text_input_v1_text_direction)> &
zwp_text_input_v1_t::on_text_direction ()
text direction
Parameters
serial serial of the latest known text input state

instances cannot be released this way. Attempts to do so are ignored.
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::reset ()
reset 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.
Definition at line 8160 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::set_content_type (zwp_text_input_v1_content_hint const & hint,
zwp_text_input_v1_content_purpose const & purpose)
set content purpose and hint
Parameters
hint
purpose
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.
Definition at line 8172 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
void zwp_text_input_v1_t::set_cursor_rectangle (int32_t x, int32_t y, int32_t width, int32_t

void zwp_text_input_v1_t::set_preferred_language (std::string const & language)
sets preferred language
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.
Definition at line 8184 of file wayland-client-protocol-unstable.cpp.
void wayland::proxy_t::set_queue (event_queue_t queue) [inherited]
Assign a proxy to an event queue.
Parameters
queue The event queue that will handle this proxy
Assign proxy to event queue. Events coming from proxy will be queued in queue instead of
the display's main queue.
See also: display_t::dispatch_queue().

uint32_t anchor)
sets the surrounding text
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.
