+// An interface implemented by an object that encapsulates a native input method
+// service provided by the underlying operating system, and acts as a "system
+// wide" input method for all Chrome windows. A class that implements this
+// interface should behave as follows:
+// - Receives a keyboard event directly from a message dispatcher for the
+//   system through the InputMethod::DispatchKeyEvent API, and forwards it to
+//   an underlying input method for the OS.
+// - The input method should handle the key event either of the following ways:
+//   1) Send the original key down event to the focused window, which is e.g.
+//      a NativeWidgetAura (NWA) or a RenderWidgetHostViewAura (RWHVA), using
+//      internal::InputMethodDelegate::DispatchKeyEventPostIME API, then send
+//      a Char event using TextInputClient::InsertChar API to a text input
+//      client, which is, again, e.g. NWA or RWHVA, and then send the original
+//      key up event to the same window.
+//   2) Send VKEY_PROCESSKEY event to the window using the DispatchKeyEvent API,
+//      then update IME status (e.g. composition text) using TextInputClient,
+//      and then send the original key up event to the window.
+// - Keeps track of the focused TextInputClient to see which client can call
+//   APIs, OnTextInputTypeChanged, OnCaretBoundsChanged, and CancelComposition,
+//   that change the state of the input method.
+// In Aura environment, aura::DesktopHost creates an instance of ui::InputMethod
+// and owns it.
