Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
Creates a new GtkSourceView. An empty default buffer will be created for you. If you want to specify your own buffer, consider gtk_source_view_new_with_buffer().
Creates a new GtkSourceView widget displaying the buffer buffer. One buffer can be shared among many widgets.
Emitted when a line mark has been activated (for instance when there was a button press in the line marks gutter). You can use iter to determine on which line the activation took place.
The ::show-completion signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates a completion in default mode. Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name if they need to control the default mode completion activation.

If show is TRUE the current line is highlighted.
If TRUE, when the tab key is pressed and there is a selection, the selected text is indented of one level instead of being replaced with the \t characters. Shift+Tab unindents the selection. Since 1.8
Sets the number of spaces to use for each step of indent. If width is -1, the value of the GtkSourceView::tab-width property will be used.
If TRUE any tabulator character inserted is replaced by a group of space characters.

The ::backspace signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user asks for it. The default bindings for this signal are Backspace and Shift-Backspace.
The ::copy-clipboard signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to copy the selection to the clipboard. The default bindings for this signal are Ctrl-c and Ctrl-Insert.
The ::cut-clipboard signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to cut the selection to the clipboard. The default bindings for this signal are Ctrl-x and Shift-Delete.
The ::delete-from-cursor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates a text deletion. If the type is GTK_DELETE_CHARS, GTK+ deletes the selection if there is one, otherwise it deletes the requested number of characters. The default bindings for this signal are Delete for deleting a character, Ctrl-Delete for deleting a word and Ctrl-Backspace for deleting a word backwords.
The ::insert-at-cursor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates the insertion of a fixed string at the cursor. This signal has no default bindings.
The ::move-cursor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement. If the cursor is not visible in text_view, this signal causes the viewport to be moved instead. Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control the cursor programmatically. The default bindings for this signal come in two variants, the variant with the Shift modifier extends the selection, the variant without the Shift modifer does not. There are too many key combinations to list them all here. Arrow keys move by individual characters/lines Ctrl-arrow key combinations move by words/paragraphs Home/End keys move to the ends of the buffer PageUp/PageDown keys move vertically by pages Ctrl-PageUp/PageDown keys move horizontally by pages TRUE if the move should extend the selection
The ::move-viewport signal is a keybinding signal which can be bound to key combinations to allow the user to move the viewport, i.e. change what part of the text view is visible in a containing scrolled window. There are no default bindings for this signal.
The ::page-horizontally signal is a keybinding signal which can be bound to key combinations to allow the user to initiate horizontal cursor movement by pages. This signal should not be used anymore, instead use the "move-cursor" signal with the GTK_MOVEMENT_HORIZONTAL_PAGES granularity. TRUE if the move should extend the selection
The ::paste-clipboard signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to paste the contents of the clipboard into the text view. The default bindings for this signal are Ctrl-v and Shift-Insert.
The ::populate-popup signal gets emitted before showing the context menu of the text view. If you need to add items to the context menu, connect to this signal and append your menuitems to the menu.
If an input method is used, the typed text will not immediately be committed to the buffer. So if you are interested in the text, connect to this signal. This signal is only emitted if the text at the given position is actually editable. Since 2.20
The ::select-all signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to select or unselect the complete contents of the text view. The default bindings for this signal are Ctrl-a and Ctrl-/ for selecting and Shift-Ctrl-a and Ctrl-\ for unselecting. TRUE to select, FALSE to unselect
The ::set-anchor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates setting the "anchor" mark. The "anchor" mark gets placed at the same position as the "insert" mark. This signal has no default bindings.
Set the scroll adjustments for the text view. Usually scrolled containers like GtkScrolledWindow will emit this signal to connect two instances of GtkScrollbar to the scroll directions of the GtkTextView.
The ::toggle-cursor-visible signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to toggle the visibility of the cursor. The default binding for this signal is F7.
The ::toggle-overwrite signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted to toggle the overwrite mode of the text view. The default bindings for this signal is Insert. See Also GtkTextBuffer, GtkTextIter
Sets buffer as the buffer being displayed by text_view. 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.
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.
Scrolls text_view 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 use_align 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 within_margin.
Scrolls text_view 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 use_align 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 within_margin. 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 gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark() which saves a point to be scrolled to after line validation.
Scrolls text_view the minimum distance such that mark is contained within the visible area of the widget.
Moves a mark within the buffer so that it's located within the currently-visible text area.
Moves the cursor to the currently visible region of the buffer, it it isn't there already.
Fills visible_rect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in buffer coordinates. Convert to window coordinates with gtk_text_view_buffer_to_window_coords().
Gets a rectangle which roughly contains the character at iter. The rectangle position is in buffer coordinates; use gtk_text_view_buffer_to_window_coords() to convert these coordinates to coordinates for one of the windows in the text view.
Gets the GtkTextIter at the start of the line containing the coordinate y. y is in buffer coordinates, convert from window coordinates with gtk_text_view_window_to_buffer_coords(). If non-NULL, line_top will be filled with the coordinate of the top edge of the line.
Gets the y coordinate of the top of the line containing iter, and the height of the line. The coordinate is a buffer coordinate; convert to window coordinates with gtk_text_view_buffer_to_window_coords().
Retrieves the iterator 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 gtk_text_view_window_to_buffer_coords().
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 gtk_text_view_window_to_buffer_coords(). Note that this is different from gtk_text_view_get_iter_at_location(), which returns cursor locations, i.e. positions between characters. Since 2.6
Converts coordinate (buffer_x, buffer_y) to coordinates for the window win, and stores the result in (window_x, window_y). Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see gtk_text_view_set_border_window_size()).
Converts coordinates on the window identified by win to buffer coordinates, storing the result in (buffer_x,buffer_y). Note that you can't convert coordinates for a nonexisting window (see gtk_text_view_set_border_window_size()).
Retrieves the GdkWindow corresponding to an area of the text view; possible windows include the overall widget window, child windows on the left, right, top, bottom, and the window that displays the text buffer. Windows are NULL and nonexistent if their width or height is 0, and are nonexistent before the widget has been realized.
Usually used to find out which window an event corresponds to. If you connect to an event signal on text_view, this function should be called on event->window to see which window it was.
Sets the width of GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_LEFT or GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_RIGHT, or the height of GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_TOP or GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_BOTTOM. Automatically destroys the corresponding window if the size is set to 0, and creates the window if the size is set to non-zero. This function can only be used for the "border windows," it doesn't work with GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET, GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_TEXT, or GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_PRIVATE.
Gets the width of the specified border window. See gtk_text_view_set_border_window_size().
Moves the given iter forward 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 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 forward to the next display line end. 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. 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.
Determines whether iter is at the start of a display line. See gtk_text_view_forward_display_line() for an explanation of display lines vs. paragraphs.
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.
Adds a child widget in the text buffer, at the given anchor.
Adds a child at fixed coordinates in one of the text widget's windows. The window must have nonzero size (see gtk_text_view_set_border_window_size()). Note that the child coordinates are given relative to the GdkWindow in question, and that these coordinates have no sane relationship to scrolling. When placing a child in GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET, scrolling is irrelevant, the child floats above all scrollable areas. But when placing a child in one of the scrollable windows (border windows or text window), you'll need to compute the child's correct position in buffer coordinates any time scrolling occurs or buffer changes occur, and then call gtk_text_view_move_child() to update the child's position. Unfortunately there's no good way to detect that scrolling has occurred, using the current API; a possible hack would be to update all child positions when the scroll adjustments change or the text buffer changes. See bug 64518 on bugzilla.gnome.org for status of fixing this issue.
Updates the position of a child, as for gtk_text_view_add_child_in_window().
Sets the line wrapping for the view.
Gets the line wrapping for the view.
Sets the default editability of the GtkTextView. You can override this default setting with tags in the buffer, using the "editable" attribute of tags.
Returns the default editability of the GtkTextView. Tags in the buffer may override this setting for some ranges of text.
Toggles whether the insertion point is displayed. A buffer with no editable text probably shouldn't have a visible cursor, so you may want to turn the cursor off.
Find out whether the cursor is being displayed.
Changes the GtkTextView overwrite mode. Since 2.4
Returns whether the GtkTextView is in overwrite mode or not. Since 2.4
Sets the default number of blank pixels above paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the buffer for text_view may override the defaults.
Gets the default number of pixels to put above paragraphs.
Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to put below paragraphs in text_view. May be overridden by tags applied to text_view's buffer.
Gets the value set by gtk_text_view_set_pixels_below_lines().
Sets the default number of pixels of blank space to leave between display/wrapped lines within a paragraph. May be overridden by tags in text_view's buffer.
Gets the value set by gtk_text_view_set_pixels_inside_wrap().
Sets the default justification of text in text_view. Tags in the view's buffer may override the default.
Gets the default justification of paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Sets the default left margin for text in text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Gets the default left margin size of paragraphs in the text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Sets the default right margin for text in the text view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Gets the default right margin for text in text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Sets the default indentation for paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Gets the default indentation of paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the view's buffer may override the default. The indentation may be negative.
Sets the default tab stops for paragraphs in text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the default.
Gets the default tabs for text_view. Tags in the buffer may override the defaults. The returned array will be NULL if "standard" (8-space) tabs are used. Free the return value with pango_tab_array_free().
Sets the behavior of the text widget when the Tab key is pressed. If accepts_tab is TRUE, a tab character is inserted. If accepts_tab is FALSE the keyboard focus is moved to the next widget in the focus chain. Since 2.4
Returns whether pressing the Tab key inserts a tab characters. gtk_text_view_set_accepts_tab(). Since 2.4
Obtains a copy of the default text attributes. These are the attributes used for text unless a tag overrides them. You'd typically pass the default attributes in to gtk_text_iter_get_attributes() in order to get the attributes in effect at a given text position. The return value is a copy owned by the caller of this function, and should be freed.
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 gtk_im_context_filter_keypress(). 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. Since 2.22
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. Since 2.22
Gets the horizontal-scrolling GtkAdjustment. Since 2.22
Gets the vertical-scrolling GtkAdjustment. Since 2.22
Description GtkSourceView is the main object of the gtksourceview library. It provides a text view which syntax highlighting, undo/redo and text marks. Use a GtkSourceBuffer to display text with a GtkSourceView.
