Yeah, that makes sense. > text-input implemented in a mainstream compositor besides weston? IIRC, Gnome doesn't use it but uses dbus for communication with the IME and KDE implemented their own new version of the text-input protocol. I don't know about Sway though. Apparently the current version of the text-input/input-method protocols have some shortcomings and that's why they are not being used. The new KDE version of the text-input protocol was posted on this mailing list early last year but their revisions have not made it into a new official unstable protocol yet. I am just wondering if there is a chicken and egg problem here with noone using the protocol because it doesn't suit their needs and then people not caring about it since noone is using it...
