Struct RawInput 

pub struct RawInput<'a>(/* private fields */);

The original, pre-decode bytes of a key press, borrowed from the caller’s read buffer, to be forwarded verbatim when no layer binds the input.

RawInput is a view, not a copy: it borrows the exact bytes[..consumed] span the decoder reported (see keymap_term::Decoded), so forwarding it to the sink is a byte-identity copy with no re-encoding. It is constructed only from real bytes via RawInput::from_bytes; there is deliberately no From<KeyInput>. Decode is lossy (SHIFT folding, BackTab ≡ shift+tab, ctrl+i ≡ tab, and some keys produce no KeyInput at all), so re-encoding a decoded key would corrupt or inject bytes. The borrow representation makes that footgun structurally impossible — there is no owned buffer for a From impl to return a reference into:

use keymap_core::{Key, KeyInput, Modifiers, RawInput};

let decoded = KeyInput::new(Key::Char('a'), Modifiers::NONE);
// There is no way back from a decoded key to its raw bytes — decode is lossy.
let _raw: RawInput = RawInput::from(decoded); // ERROR: `From<KeyInput>` does not exist

Implementations

impl<'a> RawInput<'a>

pub fn from_bytes(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Self

Wraps the verbatim bytes the caller read for this press (the bytes[..consumed] span the decoder reported).

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &'a [u8]

The borrowed bytes, for forwarding verbatim to the sink.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Clone for RawInput<'a>

fn clone(&self) -> RawInput<'a>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'a> Debug for RawInput<'a>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'a> PartialEq for RawInput<'a>

fn eq(&self, other: &RawInput<'a>) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
