[WIP] text-input-v1 support

[vaxerski]

Adds support for tiv1

Doesn't seem to work yet due to chromium being weird...?

@fufexan for meson / nix (protocol added)

hm, so far so good, but something's off. Chromium insta-crashes on any text input from IME lol

[vaxerski]

Chromium doesn't crash most of the times now, oddly I can type entire sentences but the moment I try to type ！ after a 乾杯 it dies.

[vaxerski]

awright fixed crashes

@dragove can you test this as the original reporter for the issue

google-chrome-stable --enable-wayland-ime work well.

code --enable-wayland-ime It only shows the candidate word panel and cannot actually write into the input box.
And the positioning of the candidate word panel is always in the upper left corner. I am not sure if this is a problem with fcitx5, an electron problem or a hyprland problem.

I also tested other programs built with electron like marktext, yesplaymusic none of them have issues like vscode.

Tested this a bit on arch:

electron19 --enable-wayland-ime --ozone-platform=wayland https://github.com # doesn't work, same symptom as the comment above
electron20 --enable-wayland-ime --ozone-platform=wayland https://github.com # ditto
electron21 --enable-wayland-ime --ozone-platform=wayland https://github.com # works
electron22 --enable-wayland-ime --ozone-platform=wayland https://github.com # works

VSCode is currently using electron19, so I guess the electron/chromium behavior changed in recent versions of electron/chromium.

However, afaik all of the above works in weston and kwin, so there must be something that could be done by hyprland as well.

https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v21.0.0-alpha.1

Added support for --ozone-platform-hint flag on Linux. electron/electron#34937 (Also in electron/electron#35015, electron/electron#35014)

code --enable-wayland-ime --ozone-platform-hint work well

Odd, as the client should send the cursor box. If it doesn't, then maybe hl doesn't send some event it expects?

Although if it works with electron >=21 I'd say it's a minor issue.

I'd rather push this (because it generally works) and work on that minor problem as time goes on. Seems stable to me, so no harm in doing that.

Feel free to open another issue for that.

Thanks for the feedback!
