maybe it makes sense to make use of the newly added  EditorClientEfl::willSetInputMethodState for editor hint "settage" (?)

void EditorClientEfl::willSetInputMethodState()

It was added specifically for that by Chromium guys. Other ports like Qt have not adapted themselves to make use of it, though. Could you check?

It's not feasible, at least for setting the hints of the to-be-focused node. This is because when this method is called, the new node is not focused yet and there's no way to get a reference for this node. Both QT and EFL relies on  focusedNode()->hasTagName(WebCore::HTMLNames::inputTag) to determine the input type.

In fact, chromium guys added this method because I reported to Kenneth that their prior change had broken input hints on QT.

Maybe I could add a signal on EditorClientEfl::willSetInputMethodState() to inform that a virtual keyboard should be closed, but I don't see a need since it's  well accomplished by the way it is right now.
