addMark

textBufferAddMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextMark b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

mark: the mark to add

-> TextIter

where: location to place mark

-> m ()

Adds the mark at position where. The mark must not be added to another buffer, and if its name is not Nothing then there must not be another mark in the buffer with the same name.

Emits the TextBuffer::markSet signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

Since: 2.12

addSelectionClipboard

textBufferAddSelectionClipboard

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsClipboard b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

clipboard: a Clipboard

-> m ()

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

applyTag

textBufferApplyTag

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextTag b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

tag: a TextTag

-> TextIter

start: one bound of range to be tagged

-> TextIter

end: other bound of range to be tagged

-> m ()

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.

applyTagByName

textBufferApplyTagByName

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

name: name of a named TextTag

-> TextIter

start: one bound of range to be tagged

-> TextIter

end: other bound of range to be tagged

-> m ()

Calls textTagTableLookup on the buffer’s tag table to get a TextTag, then calls textBufferApplyTag.

backspace

textBufferBackspace

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: a position in buffer

-> Bool

interactive: whether the deletion is caused by user interaction

-> Bool

defaultEditable: whether the buffer is editable by default

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the buffer was modified

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.

Since: 2.6

beginUserAction

textBufferBeginUserAction

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m ()

Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to textBufferEndUserAction are part of a single user-visible operation. The operations between textBufferBeginUserAction and textBufferEndUserAction can then be grouped when creating an undo stack. TextBuffer maintains a count of calls to textBufferBeginUserAction that have not been closed with a call to textBufferEndUserAction, 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 textBufferInsertInteractive, 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.

copyClipboard

textBufferCopyClipboard

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsClipboard b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

clipboard: the Clipboard object to copy to

-> m ()

Copies the currently-selected text to a clipboard.

createChildAnchor

textBufferCreateChildAnchor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: location in the buffer

-> m TextChildAnchor

Returns: the created child anchor

This is a convenience function which simply creates a child anchor with textChildAnchorNew and inserts it into the buffer with textBufferInsertChildAnchor. The new anchor is owned by the buffer; no reference count is returned to the caller of textBufferCreateChildAnchor.

createMark

textBufferCreateMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Maybe Text

markName: name for mark, or Nothing

-> TextIter

where: location to place mark

-> Bool

leftGravity: whether the mark has left gravity

-> m TextMark

Returns: the new TextMark object

Creates a mark at position where. If markName is Nothing, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using textBufferGetMark. 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 (leftGravity = 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 TextBuffer::markSet signal as notification of the mark's initial placement.

cutClipboard

textBufferCutClipboard

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsClipboard b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

clipboard: the Clipboard object to cut to

-> Bool

defaultEditable: default editability of the buffer

-> m ()

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

delete

textBufferDelete

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

start: a position in buffer

-> TextIter

end: another position in buffer

-> m ()

Deletes text between start and end. The order of start and end is not actually relevant; textBufferDelete 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.

deleteInteractive

textBufferDeleteInteractive

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

startIter: start of range to delete

-> TextIter

endIter: end of range

-> Bool

defaultEditable: whether the buffer is editable by default

-> m Bool

Returns: whether some text was actually deleted

Deletes all editable text in the given range. Calls textBufferDelete 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.

deleteMark

textBufferDeleteMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextMark b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

mark: a TextMark in buffer

-> m ()

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 objectRef 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 textBufferAddMark. Use textMarkGetDeleted to find out if a mark has been removed from its buffer. The TextBuffer::markDeleted signal will be emitted as notification after the mark is deleted.

deleteMarkByName

textBufferDeleteMarkByName

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

name: name of a mark in buffer

-> m ()

Deletes the mark named name; the mark must exist. See textBufferDeleteMark for details.

deleteSelection

textBufferDeleteSelection

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Bool

interactive: whether the deletion is caused by user interaction

-> Bool

defaultEditable: whether the buffer is editable by default

-> m Bool

Returns: whether there was a non-empty selection to delete

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).

deserialize

textBufferDeserialize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextBuffer b)

=> a

registerBuffer: the TextBuffer format is registered with

-> b

contentBuffer: the TextBuffer to deserialize into

-> Atom

format: the rich text format to use for deserializing

-> TextIter

iter: insertion point for the deserialized text

-> ByteString

data: data to deserialize

-> m ()

(Can throw GError)

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

formats to be used must be registered using textBufferRegisterDeserializeFormat or textBufferRegisterDeserializeTagset beforehand.

Since: 2.10

deserializeGetCanCreateTags

textBufferDeserializeGetCanCreateTags

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Atom

format: a Atom representing a registered rich text format

-> m Bool

Returns: whether deserializing this format may create tags

This functions returns the value set with textBufferDeserializeSetCanCreateTags

Since: 2.10

deserializeSetCanCreateTags

textBufferDeserializeSetCanCreateTags

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Atom

format: a Atom representing a registered rich text format

-> Bool

canCreateTags: whether deserializing this format may create tags

-> m ()

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 textBufferRegisterDeserializeTagset, 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.

Since: 2.10

endUserAction

textBufferEndUserAction

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m ()

Should be paired with a call to textBufferBeginUserAction. See that function for a full explanation.

getBounds

textBufferGetBounds

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m (TextIter, TextIter)

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

getCharCount

textBufferGetCharCount

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m Int32

Returns: number of characters in the buffer

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.

getCopyTargetList

textBufferGetCopyTargetList

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TargetList

Returns: the TargetList

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 TextBufferTargetInfo enum, using targetListAddRichTextTargets and targetListAddTextTargets.

Since: 2.10

getDeserializeFormats

textBufferGetDeserializeFormats

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m [Atom]

Returns: an array of GdkAtoms representing the registered formats.

This function returns the rich text deserialize formats registered with buffer using textBufferRegisterDeserializeFormat or textBufferRegisterDeserializeTagset

Since: 2.10

getEndIter

textBufferGetEndIter

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TextIter

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

getHasSelection

textBufferGetHasSelection

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the there is text selected

Indicates whether the buffer has some text currently selected.

Since: 2.10

getInsert

textBufferGetInsert

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TextMark

Returns: insertion point mark

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

getIterAtChildAnchor

textBufferGetIterAtChildAnchor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextChildAnchor b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

anchor: a child anchor that appears in buffer

-> m TextIter

Obtains the location of anchor within buffer.

getIterAtLine

textBufferGetIterAtLine

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Int32

lineNumber: line number counting from 0

-> m TextIter

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

getIterAtLineIndex

textBufferGetIterAtLineIndex

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Int32

lineNumber: line number counting from 0

-> Int32

byteIndex: byte index from start of line

-> m TextIter

Obtains an iterator pointing to byteIndex within the given line. byteIndex 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 lineNumber is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, the end iterator is returned. And if byteIndex is off the end of the line, the iterator at the end of the line is returned.

getIterAtLineOffset

textBufferGetIterAtLineOffset

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Int32

lineNumber: line number counting from 0

-> Int32

charOffset: char offset from start of line

-> m TextIter

Obtains an iterator pointing to charOffset 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 lineNumber is greater than the number of lines in the buffer, the end iterator is returned. And if charOffset is off the end of the line, the iterator at the end of the line is returned.

getIterAtMark

textBufferGetIterAtMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextMark b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

mark: a TextMark in buffer

-> m TextIter

Initializes iter with the current position of mark.

getIterAtOffset

textBufferGetIterAtOffset

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Int32

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

-> m TextIter

Initializes iter to a position charOffset chars from the start of the entire buffer. If charOffset 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.

getLineCount

textBufferGetLineCount

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m Int32

Returns: number of lines in the buffer

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

getMark

textBufferGetMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

name: a mark name

-> m (Maybe TextMark)

Returns: a TextMark, or Nothing

Returns the mark named name in buffer buffer, or Nothing if no such mark exists in the buffer.

getModified

textBufferGetModified

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the buffer has been modified

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

getPasteTargetList

textBufferGetPasteTargetList

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TargetList

Returns: the TargetList

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 TextBufferTargetInfo enum, using targetListAddRichTextTargets and targetListAddTextTargets.

Since: 2.10

getSelectionBound

textBufferGetSelectionBound

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TextMark

Returns: selection bound mark

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

The currently-selected text in buffer 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. textBufferGetSelectionBounds is another convenient function for handling the selection, if you just want to know whether there’s a selection and what its bounds are.

getSelectionBounds

textBufferGetSelectionBounds

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer a TextBuffer

-> m (Bool, TextIter, TextIter)

Returns: whether the selection has nonzero length

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.

getSerializeFormats

textBufferGetSerializeFormats

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m [Atom]

Returns: an array of GdkAtoms representing the registered formats.

This function returns the rich text serialize formats registered with buffer using textBufferRegisterSerializeFormat or textBufferRegisterSerializeTagset

Since: 2.10

getSlice

textBufferGetSlice

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

start: start of a range

-> TextIter

end: end of a range

-> Bool

includeHiddenChars: whether to include invisible text

-> m Text

Returns: an allocated UTF-8 string

Returns the text in the range [start,end). Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if includeHiddenChars 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 textBufferGetText. 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.

getStartIter

textBufferGetStartIter

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TextIter

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

getTagTable

textBufferGetTagTable

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> m TextTagTable

Returns: the buffer’s tag table

Get the TextTagTable associated with this buffer.

getText

textBufferGetText

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

start: start of a range

-> TextIter

end: end of a range

-> Bool

includeHiddenChars: whether to include invisible text

-> m Text

Returns: an allocated UTF-8 string

Returns the text in the range [start,end). Excludes undisplayed text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if includeHiddenChars 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 textBufferGetSlice.

insert

textBufferInsert

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: a position in the buffer

-> Text

text: text in UTF-8 format

-> Int32

len: length of text in bytes, or -1

-> m ()

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.

insertAtCursor

textBufferInsertAtCursor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

text: text in UTF-8 format

-> Int32

len: length of text, in bytes

-> m ()

Simply calls textBufferInsert, using the current cursor position as the insertion point.

insertChildAnchor

textBufferInsertChildAnchor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextChildAnchor b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: location to insert the anchor

-> b

anchor: a TextChildAnchor

-> m ()

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 textBufferGetSlice and textBufferGetText. Consider textBufferCreateChildAnchor as a more convenient alternative to this function. The buffer will add a reference to the anchor, so you can unref it after insertion.

insertInteractive

textBufferInsertInteractive

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: a position in buffer

-> Text

text: some UTF-8 text

-> Int32

len: length of text in bytes, or -1

-> Bool

defaultEditable: default editability of buffer

-> m Bool

Returns: whether text was actually inserted

Like textBufferInsert, 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).

defaultEditable indicates the editability of text that doesn't have a tag affecting editability applied to it. Typically the result of textViewGetEditable is appropriate here.

insertInteractiveAtCursor

textBufferInsertInteractiveAtCursor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

text: text in UTF-8 format

-> Int32

len: length of text in bytes, or -1

-> Bool

defaultEditable: default editability of buffer

-> m Bool

Returns: whether text was actually inserted

Calls textBufferInsertInteractive at the cursor position.

defaultEditable indicates the editability of text that doesn't have a tag affecting editability applied to it. Typically the result of textViewGetEditable is appropriate here.

insertMarkup

textBufferInsertMarkup

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: location to insert the markup

-> Text

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

-> Int32

len: length of markup in bytes, or -1

-> m ()

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 TextBuffer::insertText 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.

Since: 3.16

insertPixbuf

textBufferInsertPixbuf

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsPixbuf b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: location to insert the pixbuf

-> b

pixbuf: a Pixbuf

-> m ()

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 textBufferGetSlice and textBufferGetText.

insertRange

textBufferInsertRange

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: a position in buffer

-> TextIter

start: a position in a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

end: another position in the same buffer as start

-> m ()

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.

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

insertRangeInteractive

textBufferInsertRangeInteractive

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

iter: a position in buffer

-> TextIter

start: a position in a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

end: another position in the same buffer as start

-> Bool

defaultEditable: default editability of the buffer

-> m Bool

Returns: whether an insertion was possible at iter

Same as textBufferInsertRange, but does nothing if the insertion point isn’t editable. The defaultEditable parameter indicates whether the text is editable at iter if no tags enclosing iter affect editability. Typically the result of textViewGetEditable is appropriate here.

moveMark

textBufferMoveMark

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsTextMark b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

mark: a TextMark

-> TextIter

where: new location for mark in buffer

-> m ()

Moves mark to the new location where. Emits the TextBuffer::markSet signal as notification of the move.

moveMarkByName

textBufferMoveMarkByName

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

name: name of a mark

-> TextIter

where: new location for mark

-> m ()

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

new

textBufferNew

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextTagTable a)

=> Maybe a

table: a tag table, or Nothing to create a new one

-> m TextBuffer

Returns: a new text buffer

Creates a new text buffer.

pasteClipboard

textBufferPasteClipboard

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsClipboard b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

clipboard: the Clipboard to paste from

-> Maybe TextIter

overrideLocation: location to insert pasted text, or Nothing

-> Bool

defaultEditable: whether the buffer is editable by default

-> m ()

Pastes the contents of a clipboard. If overrideLocation is Nothing, 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.

placeCursor

textBufferPlaceCursor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

where: where to put the cursor

-> m ()

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them to the same place in two steps with textBufferMoveMark, 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.

registerDeserializeFormat

textBufferRegisterDeserializeFormat

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

mimeType: the format’s mime-type

-> FunPtr C_TextBufferDeserializeFunc

function: the deserialize function to register

-> m Atom

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

This function registers a rich text deserialization function along with its mimeType with the passed buffer.

Since: 2.10

registerDeserializeTagset

textBufferRegisterDeserializeTagset

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Maybe Text

tagsetName: an optional tagset name, on Nothing

-> m Atom

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

This function registers GTK+’s internal rich text serialization format with the passed buffer. See textBufferRegisterSerializeTagset for details.

Since: 2.10

registerSerializeFormat

textBufferRegisterSerializeFormat

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

mimeType: the format’s mime-type

-> TextBufferSerializeFunc

function: the serialize function to register

-> m Atom

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

This function registers a rich text serialization function along with its mimeType with the passed buffer.

Since: 2.10

registerSerializeTagset

textBufferRegisterSerializeTagset

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Maybe Text

tagsetName: an optional tagset name, on Nothing

-> m Atom

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

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 TextBuffer instances. It is capable of serializing all of a text buffer’s tags and embedded pixbufs.

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

The tagsetName 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 != Nothing here, since the Nothing tagset requires the receiving buffer to deal with with pasting of arbitrary tags.

Since: 2.10

removeAllTags

textBufferRemoveAllTags

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

start: one bound of range to be untagged

-> TextIter

end: other bound of range to be untagged

-> m ()

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.

removeSelectionClipboard

textBufferRemoveSelectionClipboard

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a, IsClipboard b)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> b

clipboard: a Clipboard added to buffer by textBufferAddSelectionClipboard

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

name: name of a TextTag

-> TextIter

start: one bound of range to be untagged

-> TextIter

end: other bound of range to be untagged

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsTextBuffer a)

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> TextIter

ins: where to put the “insert” mark

-> TextIter

bound: where to put the “selection_bound” mark

-> m ()

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously. If you move them in two steps with textBufferMoveMark, 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.

Since: 2.4

end: end of block of test to serialize

-> m ByteString

Returns: the serialized data, encoded as format

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 textBufferRegisterSerializeFormat or textBufferRegisterSerializeTagset beforehand.

=> a

buffer: a TextBuffer

-> Text

text: UTF-8 text to insert
