## Implemented Interfaces

IBusInputContext implements GDBusInterface, GInitable and GAsyncInitable.

## Description

An IBusInputContext is a proxy object of BusInputContext, which manages the context for input methods that supports text input in various natural languages.

Clients call the IBusInputContext to invoke BusInputContext, through which invokes IBusEngine.

                                    guint coordinates_len);

Pass a handwriting stroke to an input method engine.

In this API, a coordinate (0.0, 0.0) represents the top-left corner of an area for handwriting, and (1.0, 1.0) does the bottom-right. Therefore, for example, if a user writes a character 'L', the array would be something like [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0] and coordinates_len would be 6.

The function is usually called when a user releases the mouse button in a hand writing area.

see_also: “process-hand-writing-event”

#### Parameters

context | An IBusInputContext. |
coordinates | An array of gdouble (0.0 to 1.0) which represents a stroke (i.e. [x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, ...]). |
coordinates_len | The number of elements in the array. The number should be even and >= 4. |

### ibus_input_context_cancel_hand_writing ()

                                    guint n_strokes);

Clear handwriting stroke(s) in the current input method engine.

see_also: “cancel-hand-writing”

#### Parameters

context | An IBusInputContext. |
n_strokes | The number of strokes to be removed. Pass 0 to remove all. |

### ibus_input_context_process_key_event_async ()

    void
    ibus_input_context_process_key_event_async
                                   (IBusInputContext *context,
                                    guint32 keyval,
                                    guint32 keycode,
                                    guint32 state,
                                    gint timeout_msec,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

Pass the key event to input method engine.

Key symbols are characters/symbols produced by key press, for example, pressing "s" generates key symbol "s"; pressing shift-"s" generates key symbol "S". Same key on keyboard may produce different key symbols on different keyboard layout. e.g., "s" key on QWERTY keyboard produces "o" in DVORAK layout.

Unlike key symbol, keycode is only determined by the location of the key, and irrelevant of the keyboard layout.

Briefly speaking, input methods that expect certain keyboard layout should use keycode; otherwise keyval is sufficient. For example, Chewing, Cangjie, Wubi expect an en-US QWERTY keyboard, these should use keycode; while pinyin can rely on keyval only, as it is less sensitive to the keyboard layout change, DVORAK users can still use DVORAK layout to input pinyin.

Use `ibus_keymap_lookup_keysym()` to convert keycode to keysym in given keyboard layout.

context | An IBusInputContext. |
keyval | Key symbol of a key event. |

cancellable | A GCancellable or NULL. |
callback | A GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied or NULL if you don't care about the result of the method invocation. |
user_data | The data to pass to callback. |

`TRUE` if surrounding-text is needed by the current engine; `FALSE` otherwise.

### ibus_input_context_set_content_type ()

    void
    ibus_input_context_set_content_type (IBusInputContext *context,
                                         guint purpose,
                                         guint hints);

Set content-type (primary purpose and hints) of the context. This information is particularly useful to implement intelligent behavior in engines, such as automatic input-mode switch and text prediction. For example, to restrict input to numbers, the client can call this function with `purpose` set to IBUS_INPUT_PURPOSE_NUMBER.

See also: “set-content-type”

#### Parameters

context | An IBusInputContext. |
purpose | Primary purpose of the input context, as an IBusInputPurpose. |
hints | Hints that augment `purpose` , as an IBusInputHints. |

### ibus_input_context_set_client_commit_preedit ()

    void
    ibus_input_context_set_client_commit_preedit
                                   (IBusInputContext *context,
                                    gboolean client_commit);

Set whether IBusInputContext commits pre-edit texts or not. If `TRUE`, 'update-preedit-text-with-mode' signal is emitted instead of 'update-preedit-text' signal. If your client receives the 'update-preedit-text-with-mode' signal, the client needs to implement `commit_text()` of pre-edit text when GtkIMContextClass.focus_out() is called in case an IME desires that behavior but it depends on each IME.

See also `ibus_engine_update_preedit_text_with_mode()`.

#### Parameters

context | An IBusInputContext. |
client_commit | `TRUE` if your input context commits pre-edit texts with Space or Enter key events or mouse click events. `FALSE` if ibus-daemon commits pre-edit texts with those events. The default is `FALSE`. The behavior is decided with `ibus_engine_update_preedit_text_with_mode()` to commit, clear or keep the pre-edit text and this API is important in ibus-hangul. |

                                    gboolean enable);

#### Parameters
