IMMulticontextSignalName

The commit signal is emitted when a complete input sequence has been entered by the user.

If the commit comes after a preediting sequence, the commit signal is emitted after preedit-end.

This can be a single character immediately after a key press or the final result of preediting.

The delete-surrounding signal is emitted when the input method needs to delete all or part of the context surrounding the cursor.

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.

Note that getting this signal doesn’t itself guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed. When it is emitted is determined by the derived GObject class. If the implementor did not create the property with G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then any call to g_object_set_property() results in notify being emitted, even if the new value is the same as the old. If they did pass G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then this signal is emitted only when they explicitly call g_object_notify() or g_object_notify_by_pspec(), and common practice is to do that only when the value has actually changed.

This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the g_signal_connect() call, like this:

(C Language Example):

g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
                  G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
                  text_view)

It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal.

The preedit-changed signal is emitted whenever the preedit sequence currently being entered has changed.

It is also emitted at the end of a preedit sequence, in which case [methodGtk.IMContext.get_preedit_string] returns the empty string.

The preedit-end signal is emitted when a preediting sequence has been completed or canceled.

The preedit-start signal is emitted when a new preediting sequence starts.

The retrieve-surrounding signal is emitted when the input method requires the context surrounding the cursor.

The callback should set the input method surrounding context by calling the [methodGtk.IMContext.set_surrounding] method.

Additional hints that allow input methods to fine-tune their behaviour.

The purpose of the text field that the `GtkIMContext is connected to.

This property can be used by on-screen keyboards and other input methods to adjust their behaviour.
