Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Creates a new source buffer.
Creates a new source buffer using the highlighting patterns in language. This is equivalent to creating a new source buffer with a new tag table and then calling Source.bufferSetLanguage.
iter is set to a valid iterator pointing to the matching bracket if state is GTK_SOURCE_BRACKET_MATCH_FOUND. Otherwise iter is meaningless.
The ::highlight-updated signal is emitted when the syntax highlighting and [context classes][context-classes] are updated in a certain region of the buffer.
The ::redo signal is emitted to redo the last undo operation.
The ::source-mark-updated signal is emitted each time a mark is added to, moved or removed from the buffer.
The ::undo signal is emitted to undo the last user action which modified the buffer.
Moves iter to the position of the previous gsv.SourceMark of the given category. Returns TRUE if iter was moved. If category is NULL, the previous source mark can be of any category.
Marks the beginning of a not undoable action on the buffer, disabling the undo manager. Typically you would call this function before initially setting the contents of the buffer (e.g. when loading a file in a text editor).
Determines whether a source buffer can redo the last action (i.e. if the last operation was an undo).
Determines whether a source buffer can undo the last action.
Changes the case of the text between the specified iterators.
Creates a source mark in the buffer of category category. A source mark is a gtk.TextMark but organised into categories. Depending on the category a pixbuf can be specified that will be displayed along the line of the mark.
Marks the end of a not undoable action on the buffer. When the last not undoable block is closed through the call to this function, the list of undo actions is cleared and the undo manager is re-enabled.
Forces buffer to analyze and highlight the given area synchronously.
Moves iter to the position of the next gsv.SourceMark of the given category. Returns TRUE if iter was moved. If category is NULL, the next source mark can be of any category.
Get all defined context classes at iter.
Determines whether bracket match highlighting is activated for the source buffer.
Determines whether syntax highlighting is activated in the source buffer.
Returns the gsv.SourceLanguage associated with the buffer, see Source.bufferSetLanguage. The returned object should not be unreferenced by the user.
Determines the number of undo levels the buffer will track for buffer edits.
Get the main Gtk struct
Returns the list of marks of the given category at iter. If category is NULL it returns all marks at iter.
Returns the list of marks of the given category at line. If category is NULL, all marks at line are returned.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Returns the gsv.SourceStyleScheme associated with the buffer, see Source.bufferSetStyleScheme. The returned object should not be unreferenced by the user.
Returns the GtkSourceUndoManager associated with the buffer, see Source.bufferSetUndoManager. The returned object should not be unreferenced by the user.
Moves backward to the next toggle (on or off) of the context class. If no matching context class toggles are found, returns FALSE, otherwise TRUE. Does not return toggles located at iter, only toggles after iter. Sets iter to the location of the toggle, or to the end of the buffer if no toggle is found.
Moves forward to the next toggle (on or off) of the context class. If no matching context class toggles are found, returns FALSE, otherwise TRUE. Does not return toggles located at iter, only toggles after iter. Sets iter to the location of the toggle, or to the end of the buffer if no toggle is found.
Check if the class context_class is set on iter.
Joins the lines of text between the specified iterators.
Redoes the last undo operation. Use Source.bufferCanRedo to check whether a call to this function will have any effect.
Remove all marks of category between start and end from the buffer. If category is NULL, all marks in the range will be removed.
Controls the bracket match highlighting function in the buffer. If activated, when you position your cursor over a bracket character (a parenthesis, a square bracket, etc.) the matching opening or closing bracket character will be highlighted.
Controls whether syntax is highlighted in the buffer.
Sets whether the buffer has an implicit trailing newline.
Associates a gsv.SourceLanguage with the buffer.
Sets the number of undo levels for user actions the buffer will track. If the number of user actions exceeds the limit set by this function, older actions will be discarded.
Sets a gsv.SourceStyleScheme to be used by the buffer and the view.
Set the buffer undo manager. If manager is NULL the default undo manager will be set.
Sort the lines of text between the specified iterators.
Undoes the last user action which modified the buffer. Use Source.bufferCanUndo to check whether a call to this function will have any effect.

Inserts text into buffer at iter, applying the list of tags to the newly-inserted text. The last tag specified must be NULL to terminate the list. Equivalent to calling TextBuffer.insert, then TextBuffer.applyTag on the inserted text; TextBuffer.insertWithTags is just a convenience function.
Same as TextBuffer.insertWithTags, but allows you to pass in tag names instead of tag objects.
Creates a tag and adds it to the tag table for buffer. Equivalent to adding a new tag to the buffer's tag table.
Obtain the entire text
Adds the mark at position where. The mark must not be added to another buffer, and if its name is not NULL then there must not be another mark in the buffer with the same name.
Adds clipboard to the list of clipboards in which the selection contents of buffer are available. In most cases, clipboard will be the gtk.Clipboard of type GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY for a view of buffer.
Emits the “apply-tag” signal on buffer. The default handler for the signal applies tag to the given range. start and end do not have to be in order.
Calls TextTag.tableLookup on the buffer’s tag table to get a gtk.TextTag, then calls TextBuffer.applyTag.
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.
Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to TextBuffer.endUserAction are part of a single user-visible operation. The operations between TextBuffer.beginUserAction and TextBuffer.endUserAction can then be grouped when creating an undo stack. gtk.TextBuffer maintains a count of calls to TextBuffer.beginUserAction that have not been closed with a call to TextBuffer.endUserAction, 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.
Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard.
This is a convenience function which simply creates a child anchor with TextChildAnchor.new and inserts it into the buffer with TextBuffer.insertChildAnchor. The new anchor is owned by the buffer; no reference count is returned to the caller of TextBuffer.createChildAnchor.
Creates a mark at position where. If mark_name is NULL, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using TextBuffer.getMark. 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).
Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard, then deletes said text if it’s editable.
Deletes text between start and end. The order of start and end is not actually relevant; TextBuffer.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.
Deletes all editable text in the given range. Calls TextBuffer.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.
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 TextBuffer.addMark. Use TextMark.getDeleted to find out if a mark has been removed from its buffer. The mark-deleted signal will be emitted as notification after the mark is deleted.
Deletes the mark named name; the mark must exist. See TextBuffer.deleteMark for details.
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).
This function deserializes rich text in format format and inserts it at iter.
This functions returns the value set with TextBuffer.deserializeSetCanCreateTags
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.
Should be paired with a call to TextBuffer.beginUserAction. 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).
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.
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.addRichTextTargets and TargetList.addTextTargets.
This function returns the rich text deserialize formats registered with buffer using TextBuffer.registerDeserializeFormat or TextBuffer.registerDeserializeTagset
Initializes iter with the “end iterator,” one past the last valid character in the text buffer. If dereferenced with TextIter.getChar, the end iterator has a character value of 0. The entire buffer lies in the range from the first position in the buffer (call TextBuffer.getStartIter to get character position 0) to the end iterator.
Indicates whether the buffer has some text currently selected.
Returns the mark that represents the cursor (insertion point). Equivalent to calling TextBuffer.getMark to get the mark named “insert”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.
Obtains the location of anchor within buffer.
Initializes iter to the start of the given line. If line_number is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, the end iterator is returned.
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.
Obtains an iterator pointing to char_offset within the given line. Note characters, not bytes; UTF-8 may encode one character as multiple bytes.
Initializes iter with the current position of mark.
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.
Obtains the number of lines in the buffer. This value is cached, so the function is very fast.
Returns the mark named name in buffer buffer, or NULL if no such mark exists in the buffer.
Indicates whether the buffer has been modified since the last call to TextBuffer.setModified set the modification flag to FALSE. Used for example to enable a “save” function in a text editor.
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.addRichTextTargets and TargetList.addTextTargets.
Returns the mark that represents the selection bound. Equivalent to calling TextBuffer.getMark to get the mark named “selection_bound”, but very slightly more efficient, and involves less typing.
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.
This function returns the rich text serialize formats registered with buffer using TextBuffer.registerSerializeFormat or TextBuffer.registerSerializeTagset
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 TextBuffer.getText. 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.
Initialized iter with the first position in the text buffer. This is the same as using TextBuffer.getIterAtOffset to get the iter at character offset 0.
Get the gtk.TextTagTable associated with this buffer.
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 TextBuffer.getSlice.
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.
Simply calls TextBuffer.insert, using the current cursor position as the insertion point.
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 TextBuffer.getSlice and TextBuffer.getText. Consider TextBuffer.createChildAnchor as a more convenient alternative to this function. The buffer will add a reference to the anchor, so you can unref it after insertion.
Like TextBuffer.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).
Calls TextBuffer.insertInteractive at the cursor position.
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 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.
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 TextBuffer.getSlice and TextBuffer.getText.
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 buffer, the two buffers must share the same tag table.
Same as TextBuffer.insertRange, 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 TextView.getEditable is appropriate here.
Moves mark to the new location where. Emits the mark-set signal as notification of the move.
Moves the mark named name (which must exist) to location where. See TextBuffer.moveMark for details.
Pastes the contents of a clipboard. If override_location is NULL, the pasted text will be inserted at the cursor position, or the buffer selection will be replaced if the selection is non-empty.
This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them to the same place in two steps with TextBuffer.moveMark, 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.
This function registers a rich text deserialization function along with its mime_type with the passed buffer.
This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed buffer. See TextBuffer.registerSerializeTagset for details.
This function registers a rich text serialization function along with its mime_type with the passed buffer.
This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed buffer. The internal format does not comply to any standard rich text format and only works between gtk.TextBuffer instances. It is capable of serializing all of a text buffer’s tags and embedded pixbufs.
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.
Removes a gtk.Clipboard added with TextBuffer.addSelectionClipboard.
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.
Calls TextTag.tableLookup on the buffer’s tag table to get a gtk.TextTag, then calls TextBuffer.removeTag.
This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them in two steps with TextBuffer.moveMark, 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.
This function serializes the portion of text between start and end in the rich text format represented by 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 (buffer, FALSE). When the buffer is modified, it will automatically toggled on the modified bit again. When the modified bit flips, the buffer emits the modified-changed signal.
Deletes current contents of buffer, and inserts text instead. If len is -1, text must be nul-terminated. text must be valid UTF-8.
This function unregisters a rich text format that was previously registered using TextBuffer.registerDeserializeFormat or TextBuffer.registerDeserializeTagset.
