ImeSession class

Owns the platform TextInput connection for the terminal view. Parses updateEditingValue into events the rest of the app cares about:

onPreeditChanged(String?) — the current composing substring (null = no active preedit; the overlay should hide). onCommit(String) — a finalized string the terminal should write to the PTY as UTF-8 bytes. onBackspace() — delete key while the TextInput buffer shrinks.

Per-frame, the caller should pass cursor geometry via setImeGeometry so the OS IM (fcitx / IBus / macOS IME / etc.) positions its candidate window adjacent to the cursor cell.

Methods

attach() → void
Open a platform TextInput session. Idempotent.
connectionClosed() → void
Platform notified framework of closed connection.
override
detach({bool notify = true}) → void
Close the session and clear any visible preedit. Safe to call when not attached. notify — when false, skip onPreeditChanged (e.g. widget dispose).
didChangeInputControl(TextInputControl? old, TextInputControl? n) → void
The framework calls this method to notify that the text input control has been changed.
override
insertContent(KeyboardInsertedContent content) → void
Notify client about new content insertion from Android keyboard.
override
insertTextPlaceholder(Size size) → void
Requests that the client add a text placeholder to reserve visual space in the text.
override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
onFocusReceived() → bool
Notifies the client that the platform moved focus back to this input.
override
performAction(TextInputAction action) → void
Requests that this client perform the given action.
override
performPrivateCommand(String action, Map<String, dynamic> data) → void
Request from the input method that this client perform the given private command.
override
performSelector(String selectorName) → void
Performs the specified MacOS-specific selector from the NSStandardKeyBindingResponding protocol or user-specified selector from DefaultKeyBinding.Dict.
override
removeTextPlaceholder() → void
Requests that the client remove the text placeholder.
override
setImeGeometry({required Size editableSize, required Matrix4 editableTransform, required Rect globalCaret}) → void
Positions the platform IME: editable bounds + caret (global coordinates).
showAutocorrectionPromptRect(int start, int end) → void
Requests that this client display a prompt rectangle for the given text range, to indicate the range of text that will be changed by a pending autocorrection.
override
showToolbar() → void
Requests that the client show the editing toolbar, for example when the platform changes the selection through a non-flutter method such as scribble.
override
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
updateEditingValue(TextEditingValue value) → void
Requests that this client update its editing state to the given value.
override
updateFloatingCursor(RawFloatingCursorPoint point) → void
Updates the floating cursor position and state.
override

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
