> What I'm saying is that this functionality exists in input methods on Mac. They work through NSTextInputClient protocol, which is implemented in WebKit. You can take a look at the implementation.

I checked related functions. They are for Mac platform only. And the interfaces are different with Linux and Windows. On Linux, IME does not specify a rang for getting the surrounding text. The application need report the cursor and selection with surrounding plain text. So we need implement the new API. I will make WebSubstringUtil::attributedSubstringInRange() as a reference.

Thanks.
