This is useful for text input in, for example, console.lua. Each character in the commit string gets turned into an mpv key press. Pre-edit strings are not handled, since there's currently no good way to handle that or make it useful to text input scripts. Like win32, which I tested in wine, another limitation is that the composition window is always positioned at the top left of the window, since we cannot get useful positioning hints from mpv scripts. It allows the composition window to be within the window and avoids obstructing the console prompt.
This can be enabled/disabled with --wayland-ime=<yes|no> (default: yes).
