Surrounding text is a feature of Gtk and many toolkits that allows input method editors to read and edit the text around the cursor.

To support it, you need to implement handlers for the "delete-surrounding" and "retrieve-surrounding" signals in GtkIMContext.

    GTK+ IME behaviour is a current subject on the mailing list.

    It is unlikely I will work on implementing these handlers myself.

    Now it seems to work good to input thai language.
