Text input synchronization for remote applications

A method comprising:

• sending, by a first computing device distinct from a second computing device, text composed using an initially and locally rendered composition window of the first computing device to the second computing device, the second computing device configured to enter the composed text into a text input of an application executing on the second computing device and to determine one or more attributes of a cursor of the text input, the one or more attributes of the cursor including at least a position of the cursor;
• receiving, by the first computing device, the one or more attributes of the cursor from the second computing device, the first computing device displaying the application executing on the second computing device;
• and
• positioning, by the first computing device, the composition window relative to the displayed application based on the position of the cursor determined by the second computing device.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-volatile memory storing computer program code that when executed on the processor causes the processor to execute a process comprising:
• receiving text composed using a text input initially and locally rendered by another computing device distinct from the computing device;
• entering the composed text into a text input of an application executing on the computing device;
• determining one or more attributes of a cursor of the text input, the one or more attributes of the cursor including at least a position of the cursor;
• and
• sending the one or more attributes of the cursor to the another computing device, the another computing device configured to display the application and to position a composition window relative to the displayed application based on the position of the cursor determined by the computing device.
