'Clear all' is the equivalent of sending an empty commit string or synthesizing an input method event that carries an empty commit string on the client side. Cursor position and offset for the commit string can just be set to min/max int. That way there is no need to compute the additional information ;-) > Also I thought(felt) that 'set_surrounding_text' is for text > selection.
