This change is part of Purism's efforts to standardize a single text input protocol across Wayland.
Currently, Gtk and Qt, as well as respective compositors, use different text_input protocols and are not 100% compatible with each other. zwp_text_input_v3 is based off gtk_text_input, and was submitted for inclusion in wayland-protocols after extensive feedback mostly from Sway/wlroots.
The protocol is already implemented in wlroots, and this change adds client support on the Gtk side. We're on track discussing s
Changes compared to gtk_text_input are minimal:
- naming and formatting:
gtk->zwp, etc. - removed serial numbers, since they are gone in the new proposal.
Feedback welcome!
