Typing Indicator

stimeo--typing-indicator

Shows "someone is typing…" with almost no JavaScript of your own.

  • Core

Shows the other person that someone is typing. The state lives on the server's connection rather than in any browser. Typing inside this element sends a signal carrying your display name, spaced out so it is not sent on every keystroke. Signals from other people are tracked per typist and clear themselves once someone has been quiet for a while. Your own signal never appears on your own screen. On the server, all that is needed is passing the signal back to the room: no state and no timers. The wording can be written per language.

running

Open this page in a second tab side by side and type in one of them: the other shows the indicator, while your own tab stays quiet. It clears a few seconds after you stop.

You appear to others as Guest 204f.

Keyboard

This component has no keyboard interactions of its own.
