Adds a child widget in the text buffer, at the given anchor.

Adds child at a fixed coordinate in the GtkTextView's text window.

The xpos and ypos must be in buffer coordinates (see textViewGetIterLocation to convert to buffer coordinates).

child will scroll with the text view.

If instead you want a widget that will not move with the GtkTextView contents see GtkOverlay.

Moves the given iter backward by one display (wrapped) line.

A display line is different from a paragraph. Paragraphs are separated by newlines or other paragraph separator characters. Display lines are created by line-wrapping a paragraph. If wrapping is turned off, display lines and paragraphs will be the same. Display lines are divided differently for each view, since they depend on the view’s width; paragraphs are the same in all views, since they depend on the contents of the GtkTextBuffer.

Moves the given iter backward to the next display line start.

Returns whether pressing the <kbd>Tab</kbd> key inserts a tab characters.

See textViewSetAcceptsTab.

Gets the bottom margin for text in the textView.

Returns the GtkTextBuffer being displayed by this text view.

The reference count on the buffer is not incremented; the caller of this function won’t own a new reference.

Determine the positions of the strong and weak cursors if the insertion point is at iter.

The position of each cursor is stored as a zero-width rectangle. The strong cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality equal to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted. The weak cursor location is the location where characters of the directionality opposite to the base direction of the paragraph are inserted.

If iter is Nothing, the actual cursor position is used.

Note that if iter happens to be the actual cursor position, and there is currently an IM preedit sequence being entered, the returned locations will be adjusted to account for the preedit cursor’s offset within the preedit sequence.

The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use textViewBufferToWindowCoords to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.

Find out whether the cursor should be displayed.

Returns the default editability of the GtkTextView.

Tags in the buffer may override this setting for some ranges of text.

Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Retrieves the iterator pointing to the character at buffer coordinates x and y.

Buffer coordinates are coordinates for the entire buffer, not just the currently-displayed portion. If you have coordinates from an event, you have to convert those to buffer coordinates with textViewWindowToBufferCoords.

Note that this is different from textViewGetIterAtLocation, which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters.

Gets the top margin for text in the textView.

Fills visibleRect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in buffer coordinates.

Convert to window coordinates with textViewBufferToWindowCoords.

Gets the line wrapping for the view.

Allow the GtkTextView input method to internally handle key press and release events.

If this function returns True, then no further processing should be done for this key event. See iMContextFilterKeypress.

Note that you are expected to call this function from your handler when overriding key event handling. This is needed in the case when you need to insert your own key handling between the input method and the default key event handling of the GtkTextView.

c code

static gboolean
gtk_foo_bar_key_press_event (GtkWidget *widget,
                             GdkEvent  *event)
{
  guint keyval;

  gdk_event_get_keyval ((GdkEvent*)event, &keyval);

  if (keyval == GDK_KEY_Return || keyval == GDK_KEY_KP_Enter)
    {
      if (gtk_text_view_im_context_filter_keypress (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (widget), event))
        return TRUE;
    }

  // Do some stuff

  return GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (gtk_foo_bar_parent_class)->key_press_event (widget, event);
}

Moves a mark within the buffer so that it's located within the currently-visible text area.

Updates the position of a child.

See textViewAddOverlay.

Move the iterator a given number of characters visually, treating it as the strong cursor position.

If count is positive, then the new strong cursor position will be count positions to the right of the old cursor position. If count is negative then the new strong cursor position will be count positions to the left of the old cursor position.

In the presence of bi-directional text, the correspondence between logical and visual order will depend on the direction of the current run, and there may be jumps when the cursor is moved off of the end of a run.

Creates a new GtkTextView.

If you don’t call textViewSetBuffer before using the text view, an empty default buffer will be created for you. Get the buffer with textViewGetBuffer. If you want to specify your own buffer, consider textViewNewWithBuffer.

Creates a new GtkTextView widget displaying the buffer buffer.

One buffer can be shared among many widgets. buffer may be Nothing to create a default buffer, in which case this function is equivalent to textViewNew. The text view adds its own reference count to the buffer; it does not take over an existing reference.

Moves the cursor to the currently visible region of the buffer.

Removes a child widget from textView.

Ensures that the cursor is shown.

This also resets the time that it will stay blinking (or visible, in case blinking is disabled).

This function should be called in response to user input (e.g. from derived classes that override the textview's event handlers).

Reset the input method context of the text view if needed.

This can be necessary in the case where modifying the buffer would confuse on-going input method behavior.

Scrolls textView the minimum distance such that mark is contained within the visible area of the widget.

Scrolls textView so that iter is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign.

An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If useAlign is False, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

Note that this function uses the currently-computed height of the lines in the text buffer. Line heights are computed in an idle handler; so this function may not have the desired effect if it’s called before the height computations. To avoid oddness, consider using textViewScrollToMark which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.

Scrolls textView so that mark is on the screen in the position indicated by xalign and yalign.

An alignment of 0.0 indicates left or top, 1.0 indicates right or bottom, 0.5 means center. If useAlign is False, the text scrolls the minimal distance to get the mark onscreen, possibly not scrolling at all. The effective screen for purposes of this function is reduced by a margin of size withinMargin.

Sets the behavior of the text widget when the <kbd>Tab</kbd> key is pressed.

If acceptsTab is True, a tab character is inserted. If acceptsTab is False the keyboard focus is moved to the next widget in the focus chain.

Focus can always be moved using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd>.

Sets the bottom margin for text in textView.

Note that this function is confusingly named. In CSS terms, the value set here is padding.

Sets buffer as the buffer being displayed by textView.

The previous buffer displayed by the text view is unreferenced, and a reference is added to buffer. If you owned a reference to buffer before passing it to this function, you must remove that reference yourself; GtkTextView will not “adopt” it.

Toggles whether the insertion point should be displayed.

A buffer with no editable text probably shouldn’t have a visible cursor, so you may want to turn the cursor off.

Note that this property may be overridden by the Settings:gtkKeynavUseCaret setting.

Sets the default editability of the GtkTextView.

You can override this default setting with tags in the buffer, using the “editable” attribute of tags.

Sets a menu model to add when constructing the context menu for textView.
