19 /**
20  * Class representing a generic input event as handled by Latin IME.
21  *
22  * This contains information about the origin of the event, but it is generalized and should
23  * represent a software keypress, hardware keypress, or d-pad move alike.
24  * Very importantly, this does not necessarily result in inputting one character, or even anything
25  * at all - it may be a dead key, it may be a partial input, it may be a special key on the
26  * keyboard, it may be a cancellation of a keypress (e.g. in a soft keyboard the finger of the
27  * user has slid out of the key), etc. It may also be a batch input from a gesture or handwriting
28  * for example.
29  * The combiner should figure out what to do with this.
