At a frist glance I almost agreed with you, Björn. Note though that, in terms of output, these events we’re talking about are adapted to the input method used to generate them. We’re not any more talking about device specific events, like “mouse click” or “key press”. One of these events could be “insert character” and the way it is triggered vary depending on device, platform, ATs, etc.
This makes me agree that Responsive Input Events is a great choice for it. -- Frederico Knabben CKEditor Project Lead and CKSource Owner -- CKSource - http://cksource.com -- Follow us on: Twitter (http://twitter.com/ckeditor) | Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ckeditor) | Google+ (https://plus.google.com/107736718646302128806) | LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/company/cksource) On Friday, 12 December 2014 at 01:17, Bjoern Hoehrmann wrote: > * Ben Peters wrote: > > There has been a lot of debate [1][2] about the correct name for device > > independent events [3] as a concept*.
