<interface name="wl_input_method_context" version="1">
<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.
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which are based on an outdated state (for example after a reset).
</description>
<request name="destroy" type="destructor"/>
<request name="commit_string">
<description summary="commit string">
Send the commit string text for insertion to the application.
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 be also 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 will be removed.

<request name="preedit_string">
<description summary="pre-edit string">
Send the pre-edit string text to the application text input.
The commit text can be used to replace the preedit text on reset (for
example on unfocus).
Also previously sent preedit_style and preedit_cursor requests are
processed bt the text_input also.

Sets styling information on composing text. The style is applied for
length in bytes from index relative to the beginning of
the composing text (as byte offset). Multiple styles can
be applied to a composing text.
This request should be sent before sending preedit_string request.

position in bytess (when >= 0 relative to the end of inserted text
else relative to beginning of inserted text). Anchor is the new anchor
position in bytes (when >= 0 relative to the end of inserted text, else
relative to beginning of inserted text). When there should be no
selected text anchor should be the same as index.

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.
