# BEKeyEntryContext

A class that describes a key event and the text document with which the event is associated.

```
class BEKeyEntryContext
```

## Overview

If the key entry occurs within the context of a composed input mode, for example Chinese, Japanese, or Korean input, set [`shouldEvaluateForInputSystemHandling`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/shouldEvaluateForInputSystemHandling) to `true`.
The text system uses the document’s marked text to combine multiple key events into a single input character.

## Topics

### Creating a key entry context

[`init(keyEntry:)`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/init(keyEntry:))

Initializes an instance of BEKeyEventContext with its corresponding `keyState`

### Getting the information about the key event

[`keyEntry`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/keyEntry)

BEKeyEntry for which this context is representing.

[`shouldInsertCharacter`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/shouldInsertCharacter)

Represents whether a character should be inserted.

[`shouldEvaluateForInputSystemHandling`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/shouldEvaluateForInputSystemHandling)

Represents whether the key event should be evaluated within the context of a composed input mode.

### Getting information about the text document

[`isDocumentEditable`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BEKeyEntryContext/isDocumentEditable)

Represents whether the web document is editable
