System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides guidance for implementing and debugging custom text input interfaces that conform to UIKit and AppKit input contracts, including UIKeyInput, UITextInput, and NSTextInputClient.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Protocol coverage: outlines the required methods and types for full text input support, including marked text, selection, geometry, and coordinate systems.
  • Cross-platform guidance: applies to iOS and macOS custom inputs, with considerations for Scribble and IME workflows.
  • Use Case: when building a custom text editor or input component that must participate in iOS's IME or macOS input system, this skill consolidates the lifecycle of input, marked text, and system notifications.

Quick Start

Experiment with implementing a custom UITextInput conforming view to verify the end-to-end input lifecycle.
