 * SECTION:gtkimcontext
 * @title: GtkIMContext
 * @short_description: Base class for input method contexts
 * @include: gtk/gtk.h,gtk/gtkimmodule.h
 *
 * #GtkIMContext defines the interface for GTK+ input methods. An input method
 * is used by GTK+ text input widgets like #GtkEntry to map from key events to
 * Unicode character strings.
 *
 * The default input method can be set programmatically via the 
 * #GtkSettings:gtk-im-module GtkSettings property. Alternatively, you may set 
 * the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable as documented in
 * [Running GTK+ Applications][gtk-running].
 *
 * The #GtkEntry #GtkEntry:im-module and #GtkTextView #GtkTextView:im-module 
 * properties may also be used to set input methods for specific widget 
 * instances. For instance, a certain entry widget might be expected to contain 
 * certain characters which would be easier to input with a certain input 
 * method.
 *
 * An input method may consume multiple key events in sequence and finally
 * output the composed result. This is called preediting, and an input method
 * may provide feedback about this process by displaying the intermediate
 * composition states as preedit text. For instance, the default GTK+ input
 * method implements the input of arbitrary Unicode code points by holding down
 * the Control and Shift keys and then typing “U” followed by the hexadecimal
 * digits of the code point.  When releasing the Control and Shift keys,
 * preediting ends and the character is inserted as text. Ctrl+Shift+u20AC for
 * example results in the € sign.
 *
 * Additional input methods can be made available for use by GTK+ widgets as
 * loadable modules. An input method module is a small shared library which
 * implements a subclass of #GtkIMContext or #GtkIMContextSimple and exports
 * these four functions:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * void im_module_init(GTypeModule *module);
 * ]|
 * This function should register the #GType of the #GtkIMContext subclass which
 * implements the input method by means of g_type_module_register_type(). Note
 * that g_type_register_static() cannot be used as the type needs to be
 * registered dynamically.
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * void im_module_exit(void);
 * ]|
 * Here goes any cleanup code your input method might require on module unload.
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * void im_module_list(const GtkIMContextInfo ***contexts, int *n_contexts)
 * {
 *   *contexts = info_list;
 *   *n_contexts = G_N_ELEMENTS (info_list);
 * }
 * ]|
 * This function returns the list of input methods provided by the module. The
 * example implementation above shows a common solution and simply returns a
 * pointer to statically defined array of #GtkIMContextInfo items for each
 * provided input method.
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * GtkIMContext * im_module_create(const gchar *context_id);
 * ]|
 * This function should return a pointer to a newly created instance of the
 * #GtkIMContext subclass identified by @context_id. The context ID is the same
 * as specified in the #GtkIMContextInfo array returned by im_module_list().
 *
 * After a new loadable input method module has been installed on the system,
 * the configuration file `gtk.immodules` needs to be
 * regenerated by [gtk-query-immodules-3.0][gtk-query-immodules-3.0],
 * in order for the new input method to become available to GTK+ applications.

 * GtkIMContextClass:
 * @preedit_start: Default handler of the #GtkIMContext::preedit-start signal.
 * @preedit_end: Default handler of the #GtkIMContext::preedit-end signal.
 * @preedit_changed: Default handler of the #GtkIMContext::preedit-changed
 *   signal.
 * @commit: Default handler of the #GtkIMContext::commit signal.
 * @retrieve_surrounding: Default handler of the
 *   #GtkIMContext::retrieve-surrounding signal.
 * @delete_surrounding: Default handler of the
 *   #GtkIMContext::delete-surrounding signal.
 * @set_client_window: Called via gtk_im_context_set_client_window() when the
 *   input window where the entered text will appear changes. Override this to
 *   keep track of the current input window, for instance for the purpose of
 *   positioning a status display of your input method.
 * @get_preedit_string: Called via gtk_im_context_get_preedit_string() to
 *   retrieve the text currently being preedited for display at the cursor
 *   position. Any input method which composes complex characters or any
 *   other compositions from multiple sequential key presses should override
 *   this method to provide feedback.
 * @filter_keypress: Called via gtk_im_context_filter_keypress() on every
 *   key press or release event. Every non-trivial input method needs to
 *   override this in order to implement the mapping from key events to text.
 *   A return value of %TRUE indicates to the caller that the event was
 *   consumed by the input method. In that case, the #GtkIMContext::commit
 *   signal should be emitted upon completion of a key sequence to pass the
 *   resulting text back to the input widget. Alternatively, %FALSE may be
 *   returned to indicate that the event wasn’t handled by the input method.
 *   If a builtin mapping exists for the key, it is used to produce a
 *   character.
 * @focus_in: Called via gtk_im_context_focus_in() when the input widget
 *   has gained focus. May be overridden to keep track of the current focus.
 * @focus_out: Called via gtk_im_context_focus_out() when the input widget
 *   has lost focus. May be overridden to keep track of the current focus.
 * @reset: Called via gtk_im_context_reset() to signal a change such as a
 *   change in cursor position. An input method that implements preediting
 *   should override this method to clear the preedit state on reset.
 * @set_cursor_location: Called via gtk_im_context_set_cursor_location()
 *   to inform the input method of the current cursor location relative to
 *   the client window. May be overridden to implement the display of popup
 *   windows at the cursor position.
 * @set_use_preedit: Called via gtk_im_context_set_use_preedit() to control
 *   the use of the preedit string. Override this to display feedback by some
 *   other means if turned off.
 * @set_surrounding: Called via gtk_im_context_set_surrounding() in response
 *   to signal #GtkIMContext::retrieve-surrounding to update the input
 *   method’s idea of the context around the cursor. It is not necessary to
 *   override this method even with input methods which implement
 *   context-dependent behavior. The base implementation is sufficient for
 *   gtk_im_context_get_surrounding() to work.
 * @get_surrounding: Called via gtk_im_context_get_surrounding() to update
 *   the context around the cursor location. It is not necessary to override
 *   this method even with input methods which implement context-dependent
 *   behavior. The base implementation emits
 *   #GtkIMContext::retrieve-surrounding and records the context received
 *   by the subsequent invocation of @get_surrounding.

 * that even if the signal was handled, the input context might not
 * have deleted all the characters that were requested to be deleted.
