/**
* 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.
*
* 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:
*
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* void im_module_init(#GTypeModule *module);
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* 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.
*
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* void im_module_exit(void);
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* Here goes any cleanup code your input method might require on module unload.
*
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* void im_module_list(const #GtkIMContextInfo ***contexts, int *n_contexts)
* {
* *contexts = info_list;
* *n_contexts = G_N_ELEMENTS (info_list);
* }
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* 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.
*
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* #GtkIMContext * im_module_create(const #gchar *context_id);
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* 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 <filename>gtk.immodules</filename> needs to be
* regenerated by <link linkend="gtk-query-immodules-2.0">gtk-query-immodules-2.0</link>,
* in order for the new input method to become available to GTK+ applications.

* @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_in() 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.
