## Member Function Documentation

### void QVirtualKeyboardInputContext::clear()

Clears the pre-edit text.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### void QVirtualKeyboardInputContext::commit()

Commits the current pre-edit text.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### void QVirtualKeyboardInputContext::commit(const QString &text, int replaceFrom = 0, int replaceLength = 0)

Commits the final text to the input item and optionally modifies the text relative to the start of the pre-edit text. If replaceFrom is non-zero, the text replaces the contents relative to replaceFrom with a length of replaceLength.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.

### void QVirtualKeyboardInputContext::sendKeyClick(int key, const QString &text, int modifiers = 0)

Sends a key click event with the given key, text and modifiers to the input item that currently has focus.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
