Handler trait for keyboard input.

The functions defined in this trait are called as keyboard events are received from the compositor.

Required Methods

fn enter( &mut self, conn: &Connection, qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, keyboard: &WlKeyboard, surface: &WlSurface, serial: u32, raw: &[u32], keysyms: &[Keysym], )

The keyboard has entered a surface.

When called, you may assume the specified surface has keyboard focus.

When a keyboard enters a surface, the raw and keysym fields indicate which keys are currently pressed.

fn leave( &mut self, conn: &Connection, qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, keyboard: &WlKeyboard, surface: &WlSurface, serial: u32, )

The keyboard has left a surface.

When called, keyboard focus leaves the specified surface.

All currently held down keys are released when this event occurs.

fn press_key( &mut self, conn: &Connection, qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, keyboard: &WlKeyboard, serial: u32, event: KeyEvent, )

A key has been pressed on the keyboard.

The key will repeat if there is no other press event afterwards or the key is released.

fn release_key( &mut self, conn: &Connection, qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, keyboard: &WlKeyboard, serial: u32, event: KeyEvent, )

A key has been released.

This stops the key from being repeated if the key is the last key which was pressed.

fn update_modifiers( &mut self, conn: &Connection, qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, keyboard: &WlKeyboard, serial: u32, modifiers: Modifiers, raw_modifiers: RawModifiers, layout: u32, )

Keyboard modifiers have been updated.

This happens when one of the modifier keys, such as “Shift”, “Control” or “Alt” is pressed or released.

Provided Methods

fn update_repeat_info( &mut self, _conn: &Connection, _qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, _keyboard: &WlKeyboard, _info: RepeatInfo, )

The keyboard has updated the rate and delay between repeating key inputs.

This function does nothing by default but is provided if a repeat mechanism outside of calloop is
used.

fn update_keymap( &mut self, _conn: &Connection, _qh: &QueueHandle<Self>, _keyboard: &WlKeyboard, _keymap: Keymap<'_>, )

Keyboard keymap has been updated.

keymap.as_string() can be used get the keymap as a string. It cannot be exposed directly as an xkbcommon::xkb::Keymap due to the fact xkbcommon uses non-thread-safe reference counting. But can be used to create an independent Keymap.

This is called after the default handler for keymap changes and does nothing by default.

Object Safety

This trait is not object safe.
