Detailed Description

A hub that manages how key events are dispatched to various Flutter key responders, and whether the event is propagated to the next NSResponder. Cooperates with |TextInputPlugin| to handle text

A keyboard event goes through a few sections, each can choose to handled the event, and only unhandled events can move to the next section:

  • Pre-filtering: Events during IME are sent to the system immediately.
  • Keyboard: Dispatch to the embedder responder and the channel responder simultaneously. After both responders have responded (asynchronously), the event is considered handled if either responder handles.
  • Text input: Events are sent to |TextInputPlugin| and are handled synchronously.
  • Next responder: Events are sent to the next responder as specified by |viewDelegate|.

Method Documentation

◆ getPressedState

- (nonnull NSDictionary *) getPressedState

Returns the keyboard pressed state.

Returns the keyboard pressed state. The dictionary contains one entry per pressed keys, mapping from the logical key to the physical key.

Definition at line 92 of file FlutterKeyboardManager.mm.

391  {
392  // The embedder responder is the first element in _primaryResponders.
393  FlutterEmbedderKeyResponder* embedderResponder =
394  (FlutterEmbedderKeyResponder*)_primaryResponders[0];
395  return [embedderResponder getPressedState];
396 }

◆ handleEvent:withContext:

- (void) handleEvent: (nonnull NSEvent*)  event
withContext: (nonnull id<FlutterKeyboardManagerEventContext>)  eventContext 

Processes a key event.

Unhandled events will be dispatched to the text input system, and possibly the next responder afterwards.

Definition at line 92 of file FlutterKeyboardManager.mm.

204  :(nonnull NSEvent*)event
205  withContext:(nonnull id<FlutterKeyboardManagerEventContext>)context {
206  // The `handleEvent` does not process the event immediately, but instead put
207  // events into a queue. Events are processed one by one by `processNextEvent`.
208 
209  // Be sure to add a handling method in propagateKeyEvent when allowing more
210  // event types here.
211  if (event.type != NSEventTypeKeyDown && event.type != NSEventTypeKeyUp &&
212  event.type != NSEventTypeFlagsChanged) {
213  return;
214  }
215 
216  [_pendingEvents addObject:[[FlutterEventWithContext alloc] initWithEvent:event context:context]];
217  [self processNextEvent];
218 }

◆ initWithDelegate:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithDelegate: (nonnull id<FlutterKeyboardManagerDelegate>)  delegate
Initial value:

Create a keyboard manager.

The |viewDelegate| is a weak reference, typically implemented by |FlutterViewController|.

Definition at line 92 of file FlutterKeyboardManager.mm.

138  :(nonnull id<FlutterKeyboardManagerDelegate>)delegate {
139  return [self initWithDelegate:delegate keyboardLayout:[[FlutterKeyboardLayout alloc] init]];
140 }

◆ initWithDelegate:keyboardLayout:

- (nonnull instancetype) initWithDelegate: (nonnull id< FlutterKeyboardManagerDelegate >)  delegate
keyboardLayout: (nonnull FlutterKeyboardLayout *)  keyboardLayout 

Provided by category FlutterKeyboardManager(Testing).

◆ isDispatchingKeyEvent:

- (BOOL) isDispatchingKeyEvent: (nonnull NSEvent *)  event

Returns yes if is event currently being redispatched.

In some instances (i.e. emoji shortcut) the event may be redelivered by cocoa as key equivalent to FlutterTextInput, in which case it shouldn't be processed again.

◆ syncModifiersIfNeeded:timestamp:

- (void) syncModifiersIfNeeded: (NSEventModifierFlags)  modifierFlags
timestamp: (NSTimeInterval)  timestamp 

Synthesize modifier keys events.

If needed, synthesize modifier keys up and down events by comparing their current pressing states with the given modifier flags.

Definition at line 92 of file FlutterKeyboardManager.mm.

373  :(NSEventModifierFlags)modifierFlags
374  timestamp:(NSTimeInterval)timestamp {
375  for (id<FlutterKeyPrimaryResponder> responder in _primaryResponders) {
376  [responder syncModifiersIfNeeded:modifierFlags timestamp:timestamp];
377  }
378 }
