The slide turns the input method on while it takes typing, with the candidate window at the caret, and forwards egui Ime events to text.compose / text.commit, so a Korean keyboard composes syllables instead of separate jamo. Interface text in scripts the interface fonts lack (Hangul, Simplified Chinese, Thai...) borrows faces from the font database (installed fonts such as Malgun Gothic; nothing bundled): file names, titles, notes, outline, sections, comments and typed text. Ported and widened from WordCraft's #565/#840 fallback. The notes pane keeps text typed before focus leaves in the same frame (Escape, another slide). Control channel: ui.ime.

Control protocol
Start the app with --control <port>. The server listens on 127.0.0.1 only and speaks JSON
lines: one request object per line, one reply per line.
{"id": 1, "method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "shape.insert", "params": {"preset": "roundRect", "rect": [100, 100, 240, 120], "text": "Hello"}}}
{"id": 1, "ok": true, "result": {"id": 258}}
Coordinates are slide points (1/72 inch; a 16:9 slide is 960 × 540) unless noted.
| Method | Params | What it does |
|---|---|---|
engine.execute / ui.menu.invoke / command |
{command, params} |
Run any command (see engine.commands; deckcraft-cli describe ID documents one) |
engine.commands |
— | Every command: id, label, menu path, shortcut, params doc, enabled / disabled reason |
document.inspect |
— | Slides, sections, layouts, shapes, selection |
ui.inspect |
— | UI state, active tool, window/canvas/slide rects, dialog, Home (start screen over the open presentations), slide show state, documents, perf (fps, render ms) |
ui.tool.select |
{tool, preset?} |
select, text, shape + preset, any preset name, curve, freeform, scribble, pen, highlighter, eraser |
ui.pointer |
{events: [{kind: down|drag|up|move|doubleclick|tripleclick, x, y, mods?}], mods?} |
Drive the active tool in slide points through the same code path as the mouse |
ui.key / ui.text |
{key, shift?, alt?, cmd?} / {text} |
Keyboard input (also drives a running slide show) |
ui.ime |
{preedit, active?: [start, end]} / {commit} |
An input method's composition through egui, as a real one arrives: shown in place on the slide or in a focused field; {"preedit": ""} cancels |
ui.move / ui.click / ui.drag |
screen points | Real egui pointer input — reaches every widget, menu and pane |
ui.set |
{tab?, view?, pane?, notes?, zoom?, brightness?, ruler?, gridlines?, guides?, …} |
UI state (returns the full state) |
ui.dialog.open / ui.dialog.close |
{id, fields?} |
Open or close a dialog by id; fields pre-fills its fields (About: {"tab": "contributors"} or "models") |
ui.screenshot |
{path?} |
PNG of the whole window (base64 when no path) |
ui.render |
{path?, slide?, scale?} |
Render a slide headlessly |
ui.resize / ui.focus |
Window control | |
show.start / show.end |
{from?: slide index, presenter?, reading?} |
Slide show |
app.open / app.save / app.export / app.quit |
{path, …} |
Files (export takes the file.export params, e.g. {"path": "deck.pdf", "layout": "handouts", "perPage": 3}) |
The MCP server (deckcraft-cli mcp, see mcp.md) wraps the same methods for Claude
and other agents; deckcraft-cli app METHOD [JSON] sends one request from a shell.
