- Add app_id field to input method instances, extracted from PID - Change API to use app_id strings instead of ObjectId/Handle - Restore input_method_handle to TextInputUserData (shared) - Store Optional<ObjectId> in text input instances for per-client assignment - Update set_active_instance() to take app_id parameter - Update set_input_method() to work on focused text input only - Update set_input_method_globally() to use app_id This provides a cleaner API where: - app_id is the stable identifier (e.g. 'fcitx5', 'ibus-daemon') - Compositors don't need to track ObjectIds - Only focused text input can be changed (unless global mode)
The InputMethodHandle is now stored inside TextInputHandle, removing
the need to pass it as a parameter to set_input_method() methods.
Before:
text_input_handle.set_input_method("fcitx5", &input_method_handle);
After:
text_input_handle.set_input_method("fcitx5");
This is cleaner since both handles come from the same seat's user data.
Reverts embedding InputMethodHandle in TextInputHandle. The handle is now passed as a parameter again for more flexibility. API: - InputMethodHandle::set_active_instance(app_id) - no parameter - TextInputHandle::set_input_method(app_id, &handle) - takes handle - TextInputHandle::set_input_method_globally(app_id, &handle) - takes handle
When a new text input instance is created, it now defaults to using the currently active input method (if any). This ensures new text inputs automatically use the global active input method in global mode.
