    <description summary="input method context">
      Corresponds to a text model on input method side. An input method context
      is created on text mode activation on the input method side. It allows to
      receive information about the text model from the application via events.
      Input method contexts do not keep state after deactivation and should be
      destroyed after deactivation is handled.
