InputHints
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gtk





.. class:: InputHints
   :no-contents-entry:






Describes hints that might be taken into account by input methods
or applications.

Note that input methods may already tailor their behaviour according
to the :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.InputPurpose` of the entry.

Some common sense is expected when using these flags - mixing
:const:`~gi.repository.Gtk.InputHints.LOWERCASE` with any of the uppercase hints makes no sense.

This enumeration may be extended in the future; input methods should
ignore unknown values.
