Objective

Align event handling implementation with web standards to enhance developer experience and leverage established specifications.

Current Implementation Status

  • Preliminary event system implementation with inconsistencies
  • There are direct dependencies on winit-specific event types.
  • Pointer events currently only handle mouse input (no touch event support)

Proposed Implementation Strategy

Keyboard Events

  • Adopt madsmtm/keyboard-types crate (tracking winit adoption progress in rust-windowing/winit#4026)
  • Implementation benefits:
    • Web-standard compliant keyboard event handling
    • Simplified conversion from winit events to internal abstraction

Pointer Events

  • Current implementation: Basic mouse event handling via winit
  • Proposed upgrade: Adopt winit's unified pointer event API (rust-windowing/winit#3876) post-release
    • Enable comprehensive touch event support
    • Simplify pointer event abstraction layer

Dependency Management

  • Target winit 0.31.0 for implementation
  • Key advantages:
    • Reduced implementation complexity
    • Improved long-term maintainability
    • Better alignment with upstream improvements

This phased approach enables standards-compliant implementation while minimizing redundant work through strategic dependency management.

There is a (currently early-stage) proposal for a standalone pointer events crate similar to keyboard-types endoli/ui-events#2 (the idea would be for winit to adopt this too).
