This input event handling change is intended to address the following
design issues:
- Having `DOM::Position` is unnecessary complexity when `Selection`
exists because caret position could be described by the selection
object with a collapsed state. Before this change, we had to
synchronize those whenever one of them was modified, and there were
already bugs caused by that, i.e., caret position was not changed when
selection offset was modified from the JS side.
- Selection API exposes selection offset within `<textarea>` and
`<input>`, which is not supposed to happen. These objects should
manage their selection state by themselves and have selection offset
even when they are not displayed.
- `EventHandler` looks only at `DOM::Text` owned by `DOM::Position`
while doing text manipulations. It works fine for `<input>` and
`<textarea>`, but `contenteditable` needs to consider all text
descendant text nodes; i.e., if the cursor is moved outside of
`DOM::Text`, we need to look for an adjacent text node to move the
cursor there.
With this change, `EventHandler` no longer does direct manipulations on
caret position or text content, but instead delegates them to the active
`InputEventsTarget`, which could be either
`FormAssociatedTextControlElement` (for `<input>` and `<textarea>`) or
`EditingHostManager` (for `contenteditable`). The `Selection` object is
used to manage both selection and caret position for `contenteditable`,
and text control elements manage their own selection state that is not
exposed by Selection API.
This change improves text editing on Discord, as now we don't have to
refocus the `contenteditable` element after character input. The problem
was that selection manipulations from the JS side were not propagated
to `DOM::Position`.
I expect this change to make future correctness improvements for
`contenteditable` (and `designMode`) easier, as now it's decoupled from
`<input>` and `<textarea>` and separated from `EventHandler`, which is
quite a busy file.
For example, in the following abbreviated test HTML:
<span>some text</span>
<script>println("whf")</script>
We would have to craft the expectation file to include the "some text"
segment, usually with some leading whitespace. This is a bit annoying,
and makes it difficult to manually craft expectation files.
So instead of comparing the expectation against the entire DOM inner
text, we now send the inner text of just the <pre> element containing
the test output when we invoke `internals.signalTextTestIsDone`.
Change `EventHandler::handle_keydown()` to no longer assume the cursor
position's node is always a `DOM::Text`. While this assumption holds
for `HTMLInputElement` that has a shadow DOM with a text node, an empty
`contenteditable` might not have any children. With this change,
`handle_keydown()` creates a new text node if the cursor position's
node is not a text node.
