<h1>UI Events Algorithms</h1>
<pre class="metadata">
Shortname: uievents-algo
Level:
Group:
Status: DREAM
Editor: Gary Kacmarcik, Google, [email protected]
Abstract:
This document attempts to describe, in an algorithmic manner, how UIEvents
should be handled by User Agents. Because this functionality has been shipping
in UAs for many years, the primary goal is to document the existing behaviors
and identify areas where implementations disagree. The intent is to fold this
information into the main UIEvents spec (and other specs) once there is
consensus that this process described here is adequate.

<section>
<h2 id="intro">Why?</h2>
The description of events in the current UIEvents spec is woefully underspecified.
This has led to different User Agents (UAs) implementing the same feature with
different behaviors.
The intent with this document is to:
* Describe the current behaviors that are shared by existing UAs
* Identify behaviors where they differ
* Initiate discussions to resolve the differences
Part of this process will necessarily require that we describe processes that
rightfully belong in other specifications (e.g., Pointer Events or Input Events).
The intent is to eventually move those portions into their appropriate home,
but they are kept here while drafting this document to make it easier to discuss.

<h2 id="native-os">Native OS Requirements</h2>
The following is the set of assumptions that this specification makes about the
underlying native operating system. It is expected that the native OS will
provide these basic services for the UA.
In the event that the native OS does not provide these services, then the
UA will need to implement them.
<h3 id="req-mouse">MouseEvent Requirements</h3>
The native OS platform will provide:
* An event when the mouse is moved
* An event when a mouse button is pressed
* An event when a mouse button is released
* A way to identify when a mouse button press should be interpreted as a "click"
* For example, as a flag or as a separate event
* If a separate "click" event is fired, then the native OS will fire it
immediately after the corresponding "mouse up" event, with no
intervening mouse-related events
* A way to identify when a mouse click is a "double click"
For these events, the OS will be able to provide the following info:
* The x,y mouse coordinates relative to the native OS desktop
* The x,y mouse coordinates relative to the UA's window viewport
* Which keyboard modifiers are currently being held
<h3 id="req-touch">PointerEvent Requirements</h3>
TODO: Specify native requirements here.
<h3 id="req-keyboard">KeyboardEvent Requirements</h3>
The native OS platform will provide:
* An event when a key is pressed
Note: On Windows: WM_KEYDOWN, WM_SYSKEYDOWN
Note: On macOS: NSKeyDown, NSFlagsChanged (for modifiers without other keys)
* An event when a key is released
Note: On Windows: WM_KEYUP, WM_SYSKEYUP
Note: On macOS: NSKeyUp, NSFlagsChanged (for modifiers without other keys)
* An event when a character should be generated as a result of a keypress
* This may be a separate event, or it may be combined with the keydown event
* If a separate event, then there are no intervening key events between keydown and char
Note: On Windows: WM_CHAR, WM_SYSCHAR
Note: On macOS: Combined with keydown
* An event when text should be inserted
* These are commonly used for alternate input devices like chordal keyboards or speech input
* This may be the same event as for when a key is pressed
Note: On Windows: WM_CHAR (without associated keydown/keyup)
Note: On macOS: NSTextInputClient with insertText
* A way to identify key events that are "repeat"s from the key being held down
* The platform will maintain a key repeat threshold
* A way to identify the modifier keys that are held in combination with a key press
* Either via flags in the messages, or via a separate call
Note: On Windows: included with WM_ messages
Note: On macOS: included with NSKey messages and NSFlagChanged
Note: On Linux (GTK): not provided with messages. need to request separately
<h3 id="req-ime">IME Requirements</h3>
Issue: IMEs differ wildly on different platforms, and often have different capabilities
(such as whether or not they can be "canceled") even on the same platform.
What is the common set of requirements that we can rely on?
Issue: For example, on Windows, Win+'.' opens an emoji window that will generate
composition events. But there is not indication from the OS that composition
is about to take place. A similar problem exists with "shape writing" using the
virtual keyboard.
<h3 id="native-entry-points">Native Entry Points</h3>
<h4 id="native-mouse">Mouse</h4>
* <a>handle native mouse down</a>
* <a>handle native mouse up</a>
* <a>handle native mouse click</a>
* <a>handle native mouse double click</a>
* <a>handle native mouse move</a>
<h4 id="native-touch">Touch</h4>
TODO: Include native touch events and resolve with native mouse events. How do these two
event types interact on the common platforms? When are mouse events generated from
touch events?
<h4 id="native-keyboard">Keyboard</h4>
* <a>handle native key down</a>
* <a>handle native key press</a>
* <a>handle native key up</a>
<h4 id="native-clipboard">Clipboard</h4>
* <a>handle native cut</a>
* <a>handle native copy</a>
* <a>handle native paste</a>
