  <interface name="wl_text_input" version="1">
    <description summary="text input">
      An object used for text input. Adds support for text input and input 
      methods to applications. A text-input object is created from a
      wl_text_input_manager and corresponds typically to a text entry in an
      application.
      Requests are used to activate/deactivate the text-input object and set
      state information like surrounding and selected text or the content type.
      The information about entered text is sent to the text-input object via
      the pre-edit and commit events. Using this interface removes the need
      for applications to directly process hardware key events and compose text
      out of them.

      Text is generally UTF-8 encoded, indices and lengths are in bytes.

      Serials are used to synchronize the state between the text input and
      an input method. New serials are sent by the text input in the
      commit_state request and are used by the input method to indicate
      the known text input state in events like preedit_string, commit_string,
      and keysym. The text input can then ignore events from the input method
      which are based on an outdated state (for example after a reset).

    <request name="activate">
      <description summary="request activation">
        Requests the text-input object to be activated (typically when the 
        text entry gets focus).
        The seat argument is a wl_seat which maintains the focus for this
        activation. The surface argument is a wl_surface assigned to the
        text-input object and tracked for focus lost. The enter event
        is emitted on successful activation.
