25 // An interface implemented by an object that encapsulates a native input method
26 // service provided by the underlying operating system, and acts as a "system
27 // wide" input method for all Chrome windows. A class that implements this
28 // interface should behave as follows:
29 // - Receives a keyboard event directly from a message dispatcher for the
30 // system through the InputMethod::DispatchKeyEvent API, and forwards it to
31 // an underlying input method for the OS.
32 // - The input method should handle the key event either of the following ways:
33 // 1) Send the original key down event to the focused window, which is e.g.
34 // a NativeWidgetAura (NWA) or a RenderWidgetHostViewAura (RWHVA), using
35 // internal::InputMethodDelegate::DispatchKeyEventPostIME API, then send
36 // a Char event using TextInputClient::InsertChar API to a text input
37 // client, which is, again, e.g. NWA or RWHVA, and then send the original
38 // key up event to the same window.
39 // 2) Send VKEY_PROCESSKEY event to the window using the DispatchKeyEvent API,
40 // then update IME status (e.g. composition text) using TextInputClient,
41 // and then send the original key up event to the window.
42 // - Keeps track of the focused TextInputClient to see which client can call
43 // APIs, OnTextInputTypeChanged, OnCaretBoundsChanged, and CancelComposition,
44 // that change the state of the input method.
45 // In Aura environment, aura::WindowTreeHost creates an instance of
46 // ui::InputMethod and owns it.
