GtkIMContextSimple composes dead keys, and while it did the daemon still
held the syllable typed before them: the composed é was inserted first
and 하 reappeared after it. A key the daemon does not take now resets
the composition when Simple begins composing on it — a modifier press,
which is also no key, leaves it alone.
Clicking elsewhere, changing focus, or any client reset dropped the
composition in the GTK module and IBus (only XIM ResetIC handed it
back), so typing 안녕 and clicking Send lost 녕. The engine now returns
the pending text — a moved-to candidate first, as Enter would — on
Keyreset and Keyrelease; the GTK module asks for it before closing on
focus-out and commits it, IBus commits it on FocusOut, Reset and a
switch to a password field, and XIM commits it on focus loss and hands
it back on ResetIC without a separate capability probe.
ipc.c: an AF_UNIX nonblocking connect completes at once or fails with
EAGAIN, so the EINPROGRESS/poll/SO_ERROR path and the fcntl juggling
were dead; the deadline plumbing checked a clock that cannot fail and
re-tested the deadline before every transfer although only waitfd
blocks; readfield's truncation and discard loop served the unit test,
since every caller owns char[Ipcfieldmax+1]; NULL-argument checks on
in-tree encoders are gone (peer validation stays). The primary key frame
is Ipckey, not 'legacy'; ipckeysym names the keysym mapping.
srv.c: the per-connection capability and caret already lived in the
persistent Keyreq; the mirror locals and 'negotiated' flag guarded a
protocol rule no client relied on. proccreate never fails in libthread.
gtk: focus-out no longer round-trips a reset before closing the socket
that releases the engine; the caret dedup compares the packed frame;
srvconnect's preedit no-ops and the insimple flag are gone.
The keysym-to-engine-key rule lived in ibus.c, xim/xim.c and gtk/main.c,
and the copies disagreed: GTK sent keypad digits as special keys while
IBus and XIM sent '1'..'9'. Modifiers were rebuilt bit by bit in two
places although Mmask already is the X core layout; only the virtual
Super bit (26) that GDK and IBus set needs folding. ipckey/ipcmod in
ipc.c serve the daemon, the module and the tests.
The GTK IM module only emitted the commit signal when the key was
eaten (r != 0). But when a non-matching key is pressed mid-composition
the engine commits the pending preedit and returns eaten=0 so the raw
key passes through, sending a commit string with eaten=0. GTK dropped
it, silently losing the composed text (e.g. Hangul "ㅇ" + "?" yielded
only "?").
Commit whenever a commit string is present, matching the wayland, ibus
and xim frontends.
