crude demonstration of how to handle SDL_TEXTINPUT (SDL 2.0) with Awesomium's WebKeyboardEvent API

gistfile1.cpp

  void handleTextInputEvent(const SDL_Event& event) {
    Awesomium::WebKeyboardEvent keyEvent;
    keyEvent.type = Awesomium::WebKeyboardEvent::kTypeChar;

    // WebKit's WebKeyboardEvent only supports up to 4 chars per "text" event
    // but SDL supports up to 32 chars. If we really wanted to do this right, 
    // we'd probably need to inject several events for text > 4 chars.
    // Let's just trim it down to 4 for now.
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
      keyEvent.text[i] = (wchar16)event.text.text[i];
      keyEvent.unmodified_text[i] = (wchar16)event.text.text[i];
    }
    
    // Use the first character of the text as the 'key code'
    keyEvent.virtual_key_code = (wchar16)event.text.text[0];
    keyEvent.native_key_code = (wchar16)event.text.text[0];
    
    webView->InjectKeyboardEvent(keyEvent);
  }
