The sources provide an extensive examination of Chromium’s input handling pipeline, focusing on the roles of the InputHandler and InputHandlerProxy within the renderer's dedicated compositor thread. This architecture is designed to maximize responsiveness by allowing critical user inputs, such as scrolling and pinching, to be processed asynchronously on the compositor thread without blocking the main thread. The InputHandlerProxy acts as a gatekeeper, intercepting incoming events and deciding whether the compositor-side InputHandler can manage them instantly (for smooth performance) or if they must be forwarded to the main thread for processing (typically due to JavaScript listeners or complex logic). Key aspects detailed include the decision logic for transferring scroll sequences between threads, the handling of gestures like flings and pinch-zoom, and the mechanisms used for thread communication and latency tracking via the InputHandlerClient interface.
