Trait containing all TextBuffer methods.

Implementors

TextBuffer

Required Methods

Adds the mark at position where_. The mark must not be added to another buffer, and if its name is not None then there must not be another mark in the buffer with the same name.

Emits the signal::TextBuffer::mark-set signal as notification of the mark’s initial placement.

mark

the mark to add

where_

location to place mark

Adds clipboard to the list of clipboards in which the selection contents of self are available. In most cases, clipboard will be the Clipboard of type GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY for a view of self.

clipboard

a Clipboard

Emits the “apply-tag” signal on self. The default handler for the signal applies tag to the given range. start and end do not have to be in order.

tag

a TextTag

start

one bound of range to be tagged

end

other bound of range to be tagged

Calls TextTagTableExt::lookup() on the buffer’s tag table to get a TextTag, then calls apply_tag().

name

name of a named TextTag

start

one bound of range to be tagged

end

other bound of range to be tagged

Performs the appropriate action as if the user hit the delete key with the cursor at the position specified by iter. In the normal case a single character will be deleted, but when combining accents are involved, more than one character can be deleted, and when precomposed character and accent combinations are involved, less than one character will be deleted.

Because the buffer is modified, all outstanding iterators become invalid after calling this function; however, the iter will be re-initialized to point to the location where text was deleted.

iter

a position in self

interactive

whether the deletion is caused by user interaction

default_editable

whether the buffer is editable by default

Returns

true if the buffer was modified

Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to end_user_action() are part of a single user-visible operation. The operations between begin_user_action() and end_user_action() can then be grouped when creating an undo stack. TextBuffer maintains a count of calls to begin_user_action() that have not been closed with a call to end_user_action(), and emits the “begin-user-action” and “end-user-action” signals only for the outermost pair of calls. This allows you to build user actions from other user actions.

The “interactive” buffer mutation functions, such as insert_interactive(), automatically call begin/end user action around the buffer operations they perform, so there’s no need to add extra calls if you user action consists solely of a single call to one of those functions.

Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard.

clipboard

the Clipboard object to copy to

This is a convenience function which simply creates a child anchor with TextChildAnchor::new() and inserts it into the buffer with insert_child_anchor(). The new anchor is owned by the buffer; no reference count is returned to the caller of create_child_anchor().

iter

location in the buffer

Returns

the created child anchor

Creates a mark at position where_. If mark_name is None, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using mark(). If a mark has left gravity, and text is inserted at the mark’s current location, the mark will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text. If the mark has right gravity (left_gravity = false), the mark will end up on the right of newly-inserted text. The standard left-to-right cursor is a mark with right gravity (when you type, the cursor stays on the right side of the text you’re typing).

The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned TextMark, so you can ignore the return value if you like. Marks are owned by the buffer and go away when the buffer does.

Emits the signal::TextBuffer::mark-set signal as notification of the mark’s initial placement.

mark_name

name for mark, or None

where_

location to place mark

left_gravity

whether the mark has left gravity

Returns

the new TextMark object

Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard, then deletes said text if it’s editable.

clipboard

the Clipboard object to cut to

default_editable

default editability of the buffer

Deletes text between start and end. The order of start and end is not actually relevant; delete() will reorder them. This function actually emits the “delete-range” signal, and the default handler of that signal deletes the text. Because the buffer is modified, all outstanding iterators become invalid after calling this function; however, the start and end will be re-initialized to point to the location where text was deleted.

start

a position in self

end

another position in self

Deletes all editable text in the given range. Calls delete() for each editable sub-range of [start,end). start and end are revalidated to point to the location of the last deleted range, or left untouched if no text was deleted.

start_iter

start of range to delete

end_iter

end of range

default_editable

whether the buffer is editable by default

Returns

whether some text was actually deleted

Deletes mark, so that it’s no longer located anywhere in the buffer. Removes the reference the buffer holds to the mark, so if you haven’t called g_object_ref() on the mark, it will be freed. Even if the mark isn’t freed, most operations on mark become invalid, until it gets added to a buffer again with add_mark(). Use TextMarkExt::is_deleted() to find out if a mark has been removed from its buffer. The signal::TextBuffer::mark-deleted signal will be emitted as notification after the mark is deleted.

mark

a TextMark in self

Deletes the mark named name; the mark must exist. See delete_mark() for details.

name

name of a mark in self

Deletes the range between the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks, that is, the currently-selected text. If interactive is true, the editability of the selection will be considered (users can’t delete uneditable text).

interactive

whether the deletion is caused by user interaction

default_editable

whether the buffer is editable by default

Returns

whether there was a non-empty selection to delete

This function deserializes rich text in format format and inserts it at iter.

formats to be used must be registered using gtk_text_buffer_register_deserialize_format() or register_deserialize_tagset() beforehand.

content_buffer

the TextBuffer to deserialize into

format

the rich text format to use for deserializing

iter

insertion point for the deserialized text

data

data to deserialize

Returns

true on success, false otherwise.

This functions returns the value set with deserialize_set_can_create_tags()

format

a gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format

Returns

whether deserializing this format may create tags

Use this function to allow a rich text deserialization function to create new tags in the receiving buffer. Note that using this function is almost always a bad idea, because the rich text functions you register should know how to map the rich text format they handler to your text buffers set of tags.

The ability of creating new (arbitrary!) tags in the receiving buffer is meant for special rich text formats like the internal one that is registered using register_deserialize_tagset(), because that format is essentially a dump of the internal structure of the source buffer, including its tag names.

You should allow creation of tags only if you know what you are doing, e.g. if you defined a tagset name for your application suite’s text buffers and you know that it’s fine to receive new tags from these buffers, because you know that your application can handle the newly created tags.

format

a gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format

can_create_tags

whether deserializing this format may create tags

Should be paired with a call to begin_user_action(). See that function for a full explanation.

Retrieves the first and last iterators in the buffer, i.e. the entire buffer lies within the range [start,end).

Returns
start

iterator to initialize with first position in the buffer

end

iterator to initialize with the end iterator

Gets the number of characters in the buffer; note that characters and bytes are not the same, you can’t e.g. expect the contents of the buffer in string form to be this many bytes long. The character count is cached, so this function is very fast.

Returns

number of characters in the buffer

This function returns the list of targets this text buffer can provide for copying and as DND source. The targets in the list are added with info values from the GtkTextBufferTargetInfo enum, using TargetList::add_rich_text_targets() and TargetList::add_text_targets().

Returns

the TargetList

This function returns the rich text deserialize formats registered with self using gtk_text_buffer_register_deserialize_format() or register_deserialize_tagset()

Returns

an array of GdkAtoms representing the registered formats.

Initializes iter with the “end iterator,” one past the last valid character in the text buffer. If dereferenced with TextIter::char(), the end iterator has a character value of 0. The entire buffer lies in the range from the first position in the buffer (call start_iter() to get character position 0) to the end iterator.

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Indicates whether the buffer has some text currently selected.

Returns

true if the there is text selected

Returns the mark that represents the cursor (insertion point). Equivalent to calling mark() to get the mark named “insert”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.

Returns

insertion point mark

Obtains the location of anchor within self.

anchor

a child anchor that appears in self

Returns
iter

an iterator to be initialized

Initializes iter to the start of the given line. If line_number is greater than the number of lines in the self, the end iterator is returned.

line_number

line number counting from 0

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Obtains an iterator pointing to byte_index within the given line. byte_index must be the start of a UTF-8 character. Note bytes, not characters; UTF-8 may encode one character as multiple bytes.

Before the 3.20 version, it was not allowed to pass an invalid location.

Since the 3.20 version, if line_number is greater than the number of lines in the self, the end iterator is returned. And if byte_index is off the end of the line, the iterator at the end of the line is returned.

line_number

line number counting from 0

byte_index

byte index from start of line

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Obtains an iterator pointing to char_offset within the given line. Note characters, not bytes; UTF-8 may encode one character as multiple bytes.

Before the 3.20 version, it was not allowed to pass an invalid location.

Since the 3.20 version, if line_number is greater than the number of lines in the self, the end iterator is returned. And if char_offset is off the end of the line, the iterator at the end of the line is returned.

line_number

line number counting from 0

char_offset

char offset from start of line

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Initializes iter with the current position of mark.

mark

a TextMark in self

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Initializes iter to a position char_offset chars from the start of the entire buffer. If char_offset is -1 or greater than the number of characters in the buffer, iter is initialized to the end iterator, the iterator one past the last valid character in the buffer.

char_offset

char offset from start of buffer, counting from 0, or -1

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Obtains the number of lines in the buffer. This value is cached, so the function is very fast.

Returns

number of lines in the buffer

Returns the mark named name in buffer self, or None if no such mark exists in the buffer.

name

a mark name

Returns

a TextMark, or None

Indicates whether the buffer has been modified since the last call to set_modified() set the modification flag to false. Used for example to enable a “save” function in a text editor.

Returns

true if the buffer has been modified

This function returns the list of targets this text buffer supports for pasting and as DND destination. The targets in the list are added with info values from the GtkTextBufferTargetInfo enum, using TargetList::add_rich_text_targets() and TargetList::add_text_targets().

Returns

the TargetList

Returns the mark that represents the selection bound. Equivalent to calling mark() to get the mark named “selection_bound”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.

The currently-selected text in self is the region between the “selection_bound” and “insert” marks. If “selection_bound” and “insert” are in the same place, then there is no current selection. selection_bounds() is another convenient function for handling the selection, if you just want to know whether there’s a selection and what its bounds are.

Returns

selection bound mark

Returns true if some text is selected; places the bounds of the selection in start and end (if the selection has length 0, then start and end are filled in with the same value). start and end will be in ascending order. If start and end are NULL, then they are not filled in, but the return value still indicates whether text is selected.

Returns

whether the selection has nonzero length

start

iterator to initialize with selection start

end

iterator to initialize with selection end

This function returns the rich text serialize formats registered with self using gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_format() or register_serialize_tagset()

Returns

an array of GdkAtoms representing the registered formats.

Returns the text in the range [start,end). Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is false. The returned string includes a 0xFFFC character whenever the buffer contains embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with text(). Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a reliable indicator that a pixbuf or widget is in the buffer.

start

start of a range

end

end of a range

include_hidden_chars

whether to include invisible text

Returns

an allocated UTF-8 string

Initialized iter with the first position in the text buffer. This is the same as using iter_at_offset() to get the iter at character offset 0.

Returns
iter

iterator to initialize

Get the TextTagTable associated with this buffer.

Returns

the buffer’s tag table

Returns the text in the range [start,end). Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if include_hidden_chars is false. Does not include characters representing embedded images, so byte and character indexes into the returned string do not correspond to byte and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with slice().

start

start of a range

end

end of a range

include_hidden_chars

whether to include invisible text

Returns

an allocated UTF-8 string

Inserts len bytes of text at position iter. If len is -1, text must be nul-terminated and will be inserted in its entirety. Emits the “insert-text” signal; insertion actually occurs in the default handler for the signal. iter is invalidated when insertion occurs (because the buffer contents change), but the default signal handler revalidates it to point to the end of the inserted text.

iter

a position in the buffer

text

text in UTF-8 format

len

length of text in bytes, or -1

Simply calls insert(), using the current cursor position as the insertion point.

text

text in UTF-8 format

len

length of text, in bytes

Inserts a child widget anchor into the text buffer at iter. The anchor will be counted as one character in character counts, and when obtaining the buffer contents as a string, will be represented by the Unicode “object replacement character” 0xFFFC. Note that the “slice” variants for obtaining portions of the buffer as a string include this character for child anchors, but the “text” variants do not. E.g. see slice() and text(). Consider create_child_anchor() as a more convenient alternative to this function. The buffer will add a reference to the anchor, so you can unref it after insertion.

iter

location to insert the anchor

anchor

a TextChildAnchor

Like insert(), but the insertion will not occur if iter is at a non-editable location in the buffer. Usually you want to prevent insertions at ineditable locations if the insertion results from a user action (is interactive).

default_editable indicates the editability of text that doesn’t have a tag affecting editability applied to it. Typically the result of TextViewExt::is_editable() is appropriate here.

iter

a position in self

text

some UTF-8 text

len

length of text in bytes, or -1

default_editable

default editability of buffer

Returns

whether text was actually inserted

Calls insert_interactive() at the cursor position.

default_editable indicates the editability of text that doesn’t have a tag affecting editability applied to it. Typically the result of TextViewExt::is_editable() is appropriate here.

text

text in UTF-8 format

len

length of text in bytes, or -1

default_editable

default editability of buffer

Returns

whether text was actually inserted

Inserts the text in markup at position iter. markup will be inserted in its entirety and must be nul-terminated and valid UTF-8. Emits the signal::TextBuffer::insert-text signal, possibly multiple times; insertion actually occurs in the default handler for the signal. iter will point to the end of the inserted text on return.

iter

location to insert the markup

markup

a nul-terminated UTF-8 string containing [Pango markup][PangoMarkupFormat]

len

length of markup in bytes, or -1

Inserts an image into the text buffer at iter. The image will be counted as one character in character counts, and when obtaining the buffer contents as a string, will be represented by the Unicode “object replacement character” 0xFFFC. Note that the “slice” variants for obtaining portions of the buffer as a string include this character for pixbufs, but the “text” variants do not. e.g. see slice() and text().

iter

location to insert the pixbuf

pixbuf

a gdk_pixbuf::Pixbuf

Copies text, tags, and pixbufs between start and end (the order of start and end doesn’t matter) and inserts the copy at iter. Used instead of simply getting/inserting text because it preserves images and tags. If start and end are in a different buffer from self, the two buffers must share the same tag table.

Implemented via emissions of the insert_text and apply_tag signals, so expect those.

iter

a position in self

start

a position in a TextBuffer

end

another position in the same buffer as start

Same as insert_range(), but does nothing if the insertion point isn’t editable. The default_editable parameter indicates whether the text is editable at iter if no tags enclosing iter affect editability. Typically the result of TextViewExt::is_editable() is appropriate here.

iter

a position in self

start

a position in a TextBuffer

end

another position in the same buffer as start

default_editable

default editability of the buffer

Returns

whether an insertion was possible at iter

Moves mark to the new location where_. Emits the signal::TextBuffer::mark-set signal as notification of the move.

mark

a TextMark

where_

new location for mark in self

Moves the mark named name (which must exist) to location where_. See move_mark() for details.

name

name of a mark

where_

new location for mark

Pastes the contents of a clipboard. If override_location is None, the pasted text will be inserted at the cursor position, or the buffer selection will be replaced if the selection is non-empty.

Note: pasting is asynchronous, that is, we’ll ask for the paste data and return, and at some point later after the main loop runs, the paste data will be inserted.

clipboard

the Clipboard to paste from

override_location

location to insert pasted text, or None

default_editable

whether the buffer is editable by default

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them to the same place in two steps with move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

where_

where to put the cursor

This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed self. See register_serialize_tagset() for details.

tagset_name

an optional tagset name, on None

Returns

the gdk::Atom that corresponds to the newly registered format’s mime-type.

This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed self. The internal format does not comply to any standard rich text format and only works between TextBuffer instances. It is capable of serializing all of a text buffer’s tags and embedded pixbufs.

This function is just a wrapper around gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_format(). The mime type used for registering is “application/x-gtk-text-buffer-rich-text”, or “application/x-gtk-text-buffer-rich-text;format=tagset_name” if a tagset_name was passed.

The tagset_name can be used to restrict the transfer of rich text to buffers with compatible sets of tags, in order to avoid unknown tags from being pasted. It is probably the common case to pass an identifier != None here, since the None tagset requires the receiving buffer to deal with with pasting of arbitrary tags.

tagset_name

an optional tagset name, on None

Returns

the gdk::Atom that corresponds to the newly registered format’s mime-type.

Removes all tags in the range between start and end. Be careful with this function; it could remove tags added in code unrelated to the code you’re currently writing. That is, using this function is probably a bad idea if you have two or more unrelated code sections that add tags.

start

one bound of range to be untagged

end

other bound of range to be untagged

Removes a Clipboard added with add_selection_clipboard().

clipboard

a Clipboard added to self by add_selection_clipboard()

Emits the “remove-tag” signal. The default handler for the signal removes all occurrences of tag from the given range. start and end don’t have to be in order.

tag

a TextTag

start

one bound of range to be untagged

end

other bound of range to be untagged

Calls TextTagTableExt::lookup() on the buffer’s tag table to get a TextTag, then calls remove_tag().

name

name of a TextTag

start

one bound of range to be untagged

end

other bound of range to be untagged

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them in two steps with move_mark(), you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.

ins

where to put the “insert” mark

bound

where to put the “selection_bound” mark

This function serializes the portion of text between start and end in the rich text format represented by format.

formats to be used must be registered using gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_format() or register_serialize_tagset() beforehand.

content_buffer

the TextBuffer to serialize

format

the rich text format to use for serializing

start

start of block of text to serialize

end

end of block of test to serialize

Returns

the serialized data, encoded as format

Used to keep track of whether the buffer has been modified since the last time it was saved. Whenever the buffer is saved to disk, call gtk_text_buffer_set_modified (self, FALSE). When the buffer is modified, it will automatically toggled on the modified bit again. When the modified bit flips, the buffer emits the signal::TextBuffer::modified-changed signal.

fn set_text(&self, text: &str)

Deletes current contents of self, and inserts text instead. If len is -1, text must be nul-terminated. text must be valid UTF-8.

text

UTF-8 text to insert

len

length of text in bytes

This function unregisters a rich text format that was previously registered using gtk_text_buffer_register_deserialize_format() or register_deserialize_tagset().

format

a gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format.

This function unregisters a rich text format that was previously registered using gtk_text_buffer_register_serialize_format() or register_serialize_tagset()

format

a gdk::Atom representing a registered rich text format.

The position of the insert mark (as offset from the beginning of the buffer). It is useful for getting notified when the cursor moves.

The ::begin-user-action signal is emitted at the beginning of a single user-visible operation on a TextBuffer.

See also: begin_user_action(), insert_interactive(), insert_range_interactive(), delete_interactive(), backspace(), delete_selection().

The ::changed signal is emitted when the content of a TextBuffer has changed.

The ::end-user-action signal is emitted at the end of a single user-visible operation on the TextBuffer.

See also: end_user_action(), insert_interactive(), insert_range_interactive(), delete_interactive(), backspace(), delete_selection(), backspace().

The ::mark-deleted signal is emitted as notification after a TextMark is deleted.

See also: delete_mark().

mark

The mark that was deleted

The ::mark-set signal is emitted as notification after a TextMark is set.

See also: create_mark(), move_mark().

location

The location of mark in textbuffer

mark

The mark that is set

The ::modified-changed signal is emitted when the modified bit of a TextBuffer flips.

See also: set_modified().

The paste-done signal is emitted after paste operation has been completed. This is useful to properly scroll the view to the end of the pasted text. See paste_clipboard() for more details.

clipboard

the Clipboard pasted from
