845171 - Separate "keyboard" API into "generation" and "dispatch" parts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 899999

(Core :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Chris Jones [:cjones] inactive; ni?/f?/r? if you need me]

When bug 845169 is fixed, the IME will no longer get a direct reference to the frame it's interacting with.

What we'll need to do instead is have two "connections"
 1. keyboard app <--> system: app generates API calls and forwards to system.  System notifies keyboard of focus etc.

 2. system <--> focused content: system forwards IME calls to content, content notifies system of focus etc.

Xulei, I presume this bug need to be addressed in your work on the new API right?

I guess this is already resolved by the new keyboard API design. Anything to do for this bug?
