FLTK 1.3 supports complex text input methods (TIMs) for the 3 platforms
(X11, Windows, macOS). This support has an interface with FLTK that is
common for X11 and Windows, via (undocumented) functions fl_set_spot(),
fl_set_status() and fl_reset_spot().
In contrast, and because it's been developed independently, the
interface between the macOS TIM and FLTK 1.3 is completely different :
static functions FL::insertion_point_location() and Fl::reset_marked_text().
The present change implements a single TIM/FLTK interface
used by all platforms based on functions fl_set_spot() and
fl_reset_spot().
The previous macOS-specific functions FL::insertion_point_location() and
Fl::reset_marked_text() are maintained only for compatibility with 1.3
and deprecated.
The Fast Light Tool Kit ("FLTK", pronounced "fulltick") is a
a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX(r)/Linux(r) (X11),
Microsoft(r) Windows(r), and MacOS(r) X. FLTK provides
modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D
graphics via OpenGL(r) and its built-in GLUT emulation. It
was originally developed by Mr. Bill Spitzak and is
currently maintained by a small group of developers across
the world with a central repository in the US.
