I already wrote that in the first post:
"for saving the input history if inputs methods are active and for adding the input methods to the context menu"
I will describe the first use case as:
If there is an active input method and the user writes a text with it he usually needs to write a sequence of characters to get a desired character. The thing is that we have a callback on HTML "input" event, where we are saving the undo/redo history and this callback needs to be suppressed when there is active GtkIMContext's preedit phase.
The second case is self-explanatory.</pre>
