[immodule-qt] [PATCH] Surrounding text

[Anuradha Ratnaweera]

Hi all,

Finally I managed to get surrounding text support in QT 3.3.3.

As we discussed here recently, it was done by adding a
imGetSurrounding() and imDeleteSurrounding() virtual functions in
QWidget and overiding them in QTextEdit and QLineEdit.  QInputContext
also implements getSurrounding() and deleteSurrounding() functions,
that simply call the corresponding ones in its composingWidget.

I am not totally happy with the way I implemented imGetSurrounding()
in QTextEdit.  Please comment.

Plain QT applications such as qtconfig, and qt designer are working
perfectly.  But some KDE applications that have their own input
widgets (e.g.: Kate) doesn't work.  Adding, or rather overiding,
imGetSurrounding() and imDeleteSurrounding() for them shouldn't be
that tough.  I am looking into it now.

Attached patch along with Sinhala Transliterated input method which I
use to test it are here:

    http://cvs.linux.lk/cgi-bin/cvsweb/sinhala/qt/im/

Notice that the patch qt-3.3.3-im-sinhala.patch is redundant because
it simply adds the contents in sinhala-t to QT source tree, and also
adds sinhala-t to inputmethods.pro.
