There were some shortcomings in the first version of the protocol which makes it not really useful in real world applications. It is not really possible to fix them in a compatible way so introduce a new v2 of the protocol.
Fixes some shortcomings of the first version: * Use only one wp_text_input per wl_seat (client side should be handled by client toolkit) * Allow focus tracking without wl_keyboard present * Improve update state handling * Allow state requests --- unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v2.xml | 481 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 481 insertions(+) create mode 100644 unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v2.xml diff --git a/unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v2.xml b/unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v2.xml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2fc5e7d --- /dev/null +++ b/unstable/text-input/text-input-unstable-v2.xml @@ -0,0 +1,481 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> + +<protocol name="text_input_unstable_v2"> + <copyright> + Copyright © 2012, 2013 Intel Corporation + Copyright © 2015, 2016 Jan Arne Petersen + + Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this + software and its documentation for any purpose is hereby granted + without fee, provided that the above copyright notice appear in + all copies and that both that copyright notice and this permission + notice appear in supporting documentation, and that the name of + the copyright holders not be used in advertising or publicity + pertaining to distribution of the software without specific, + written prior permission.
