Hey again, after experimenting a bit more, it seems like I am really not in the composition mode when I use the gboard. Maybe this is because I have turned off word suggestions? If this is the case, then this seems to introduce a third mode besides cancelable keyboard and non-canceleable IME-mode: a non-cancelable, non-IME mode where keydown events cannot be canceled. Is this possible? That would mean that on Android mobile there are at least three modes to take care of: 1. virtual key clicks, cancelable 2. IME, non-cancelable 3. non-IME, non-cancelable And every keyboard can combine these in different combinations. I hope we can simplify this a bit. When talking to other JS devs. it sounds like most have pretty much given up on dealing with the situation and diffing the DOM ends up being more simple. The beforeinput level 2 spec was an attempt at that, but with this third mode, it seems like that wouldn't even be enough. If there is this thrid mode - couldn't we make those keydown events of the third type cancelable at least? Taht would bring them closer to other keyboard input and combined with beforeinput, we would be down to having to deal with two different wways of inputting. -- Johannes Wilm http://www.johanneswilm.org tel: +1 (520) 399 8880
