<interface name="zwp_text_input_v1" version="1">
<description summary="text input">
An object used for text input. Adds support for text input and input
methods to applications. A text_input object is created from a
wl_text_input_manager and corresponds typically to a text entry in an
application.
Requests are used to activate/deactivate the text_input object and set
state information like surrounding and selected text or the content type.
The information about entered text is sent to the text_input object via
the pre-edit and commit events. Using this interface removes the need
for applications to directly process hardware key events and compose text
out of them.
Text is generally UTF-8 encoded, indices and lengths are in bytes.
Serials are used to synchronize the state between the text input and
an input method. New serials are sent by the text input in the
commit_state request and are used by the input method to indicate
the known text input state in events like preedit_string, commit_string,
and keysym. The text input can then ignore events from the input method
which are based on an outdated state (for example after a reset).
Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
interface version number is reset.

<request name="activate">
<description summary="request activation">
Requests the text_input object to be activated (typically when the
text entry gets focus).
The seat argument is a wl_seat which maintains the focus for this
activation. The surface argument is a wl_surface assigned to the
text_input object and tracked for focus lost. The enter event
is emitted on successful activation.
