<description summary="Protocol for creating input methods">
This protocol allows applications to act as input methods for compositors.
An input method context is used to manage the state of the input method.
Text strings are UTF-8 encoded, their indices and lengths are in bytes.
This iteration of the protocol is a subset of this work-in-progress proposal:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/112
This is a private Gamescope protocol. Regular Wayland clients must not use
it.
</description>
<interface name="gamescope_input_method_manager" version="1">
<description summary="input method manager">
The input method manager allows the client to become the input method on
a chosen seat.
No more than one input method must be associated with any seat at any
given time.
</description>
<request name="destroy" type="destructor">
<description summary="destroy the input method manager">
Destroys the gamescope_input_method_manager object.
The gamescope_input_method objects originating from it remain valid.

<request name="create_input_method">
<description summary="create an input method object">
Create a new gamescope_input_method object associated with a given
seat.

<interface name="gamescope_input_method" version="1">
<description summary="input method">
An input method object allows for clients to compose text.
The objects connects the client to a text input in an application, and
lets the client to serve as an input method for a seat.
There must be no more than one input method object per seat.
</description>
<event name="unavailable">
<description summary="input method unavailable">
The input method ceased to be available.
The compositor must issue this event as the only event on the object if
there was another input_method object associated with the same seat at
the time of its creation.
The compositor must issue this request when the object is no longer
useable, e.g. due to seat removal.
The input method context becomes inert and should be destroyed. Any
further requests and events except for the destroy request must be
ignored.
</description>
</event>
<event name="done">
<description summary="compositor state change notification">
Notify the client that the compositor state has changed.
The serial is used to synchronize compositor state changes and client
state changes. The serial allows the compositor to ignore requests
meant for a previous text input.
In the future, will be used to atomically apply compositor state
changes sent to the client (but currently there's no such state).

<description summary="destroy the text input">
Destroys the gamescope_text_input object.

<request name="commit">
<description summary="apply state">
Apply state changes from set_string and set_action requests.
The state relating to these events is double-buffered, and each one
modifies the pending state. This request replaces the current state
with the pending state.
The client must set the serial to the last received serial in the done
event.

<request name="set_string">
<description summary="set string to be committed">
Send the string text for insertion to the application.
Inserts a string at current cursor position (see commit event
sequence). The string to commit could be either just a single character
after a key press or the result of some composing.
Values set with this event are double-buffered. They must be applied
and reset to initial on the next gamescope_text_input.commit request.
The initial value of text is an empty string.

<description summary="action">
A possible action to perform on a text input.
The backspace and delete actions should be handled in a similar manner
to backpace and delete keys being pressed on a keyboard.
