    QInputMethod is used by the text editors for integrating to the platform text input
    methods and more commonly by application views for querying various text input method-related
    information like virtual keyboard visibility and keyboard dimensions.
 
    Qt Quick also provides access to QInputMethod in QML through \l{QmlGlobalQtObject}{Qt global object}
