| An InputContext object manages the communication between text editing
components and input methods. It dispatches events between them, and
forwards requests for information from the input method to the text
editing component.
By default, one InputContext instance is created per Window instance,
and this input context is shared by all components within the window's
container hierarchy. However, this means that only one text input
operation is possible at any one time within a window, and that the
text needs to be committed when moving the focus from one text component
to another. If this is not desired, text components can create their
own input context instances.
