We thus far have similar objects/code internal to backends. Expose the
minimum API necessary to cater for gnome-shell as a generic object.
So far only the X11 backend has an actual GObject for it, and was made
to be a subclass right away.
ClutterInputFocus is an abstract object to be subclassed by UI actors and
the wayland interface and represents the user of an input method. It
represents the current focus of the input method, so all emitted signals
and public API hooks are expected to be called when the input method is
currently interfacing with the input focus.
ClutterInputMethod is an abstract class (to be implemented in the upper
layers) that represents the input method itself. Besides focus management
itself, all public API calls that would be called by the subclasses are
delivered through the current input focus.
Virtual input devices aim to enable injecting input events as if they
came from hardware events. This is useful for things such as remote
controlling, for example via a remote desktop session.
The API so far only consists of stumps.
