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.
a position in buffer
whether the deletion is caused by user interaction
whether the buffer is editable by default
Denotes the beginning of an action that may not be undone.
This will cause any previous operations in the undo/redo queue to be cleared.
This should be paired with a call to
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.end_irreversible_action] after the irreversible
action has completed.
You may nest calls to gtk_text_buffer_begin_irreversible_action() and gtk_text_buffer_end_irreversible_action() pairs.
Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action() are part of a single user-visible operation.
The operations between gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() and
gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action() can then be grouped when creating
an undo stack. GtkTextBuffer maintains a count of calls to
gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() that have not been closed with
a call to gtk_text_buffer_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
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.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.
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.
the property on source to bind
the target #GObject
the property on target to bind

Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by
the binding.
This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of function pointers.

Creates and inserts a child anchor.
This is a convenience function which simply creates a child anchor
with [ctorGtk.TextChildAnchor.new] and inserts it into the buffer
with [methodGtk.TextBuffer.insert_child_anchor].
The new anchor is owned by the buffer; no reference count is returned to the caller of this function.
Creates a mark at position where.
If mark_name is %NULL, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark
can be retrieved by name using [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_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 GtkTextMark, 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 [signalGtk.TextBuffer::mark-set] signal as notification
of the mark's initial placement.

Deletes text between start and end.
The order of start and end is not actually relevant;
gtk_text_buffer_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 [methodGtk.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.
start of range to delete
end of range
whether the buffer is editable by default
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
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.add_mark]. Use [methodGtk.TextMark.get_deleted]
to find out if a mark has been removed from its buffer.
The [signalGtk.TextBuffer::mark-deleted] signal will be emitted as
notification after the mark is deleted.
Deletes the mark named name; the mark must exist.
See [methodGtk.TextBuffer.delete_mark] 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).

Denotes the end of an action that may not be undone.
This will cause any previous operations in the undo/redo queue to be cleared.
This should be called after completing modifications to the
text buffer after [methodGtk.TextBuffer.begin_irreversible_action]
was called.
You may nest calls to gtk_text_buffer_begin_irreversible_action() and gtk_text_buffer_end_irreversible_action() pairs.
Ends a user-visible operation.
Should be paired with a call to
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.begin_user_action].
See that function for a full explanation.
This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.
Gets whether there is a redoable action in the history.
Gets whether there is an undoable action in the history.
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.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
name of the key for that association
Gets whether the buffer is saving modifications to the buffer to allow for undo and redo actions.
See [methodGtk.TextBuffer.begin_irreversible_action] and
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.end_irreversible_action] to create
changes to the buffer that cannot be undone.
Initializes iter with the “end iterator,” one past the last valid
character in the text buffer.
If dereferenced with [methodGtk.TextIter.get_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 [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_start_iter] to get
character position 0) to the end iterator.
Indicates whether the buffer has some text currently selected.
Obtains the location of anchor within buffer.
a child anchor that appears in buffer
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.
If line_number is greater than or equal to the number of lines in the buffer,
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 counting from 0
byte index from start of line
Obtains an iterator pointing to char_offset within the given line.
Note characters, not bytes; UTF-8 may encode one character as multiple bytes.
If line_number is greater than or equal to the number of lines in the buffer,
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 counting from 0
char offset from start of line
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 from start of buffer, counting from 0, or -1
Obtains the number of lines in the buffer.
This value is cached, so the function is very fast.
Gets the maximum number of undo levels to perform.
If 0, unlimited undo actions may be performed. Note that this may have a memory usage impact as it requires storing an additional copy of the inserted or removed text within the text buffer.
Indicates whether the buffer has been modified since the last call
to [methodGtk.TextBuffer.set_modified] set the modification flag to
%FALSE.
Used for example to enable a “save” function in a text editor.
Gets a property of an object.
The value can be:
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().
Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.
the name of the property to get
return location for the property value
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Returns the mark that represents the selection bound.
Equivalent to calling [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_mark]
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.
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_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 %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.
Get a content provider for this buffer.
It can be used to make the content of buffer available
in a GdkClipboard, see [methodGdk.Clipboard.set_content].
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 [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_text].
Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a
reliable indicator that a paintable or widget is in the buffer.

Get the GtkTextTagTable 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 [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_slice].

Gets n_properties properties for an object.
Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid.
Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid
properties are passed in.

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.

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 [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_slice] and
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_text].
Consider [methodGtk.TextBuffer.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.

a GtkTextChildAnchor
Inserts text in buffer.
Like [methodGtk.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).
default_editable indicates the editability of text that doesn't
have a tag affecting editability applied to it. Typically the
result of [methodGtk.TextView.get_editable] is appropriate here.

Inserts the text in markup at position iter.
markup will be inserted in its entirety and must be nul-terminated

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.
location to insert the markup
a nul-terminated UTF-8 string containing Pango markup
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 paintable, but the “text”
variants do not. e.g. see [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_slice] and
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_text].
Copies text, tags, and paintables between start and end
and inserts the copy at iter.
The order of start and end doesn’t matter.
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.

Copies text, tags, and paintables between start and end
and inserts the copy at iter.
Same as [methodGtk.TextBuffer.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 [methodGtk.TextView.get_editable] is appropriate here.

Checks whether object has a [floating][floating-ref] reference.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
the name of a property installed on the class of object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.
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.
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.

This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.
If you move them to the same place in two steps with
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.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.
Redoes the next redoable action on the buffer, if there is one.
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
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.

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
This function should only be called from object system implementations.
This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.
If you move them in two steps with
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.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.

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

Sets whether or not to enable undoable actions in the text buffer.
Undoable actions in this context are changes to the text content of the buffer. Changes to tags and marks are not tracked.
If enabled, the user will be able to undo the last number of actions
up to [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_max_undo_levels].
See [methodGtk.TextBuffer.begin_irreversible_action] and
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.end_irreversible_action] to create
changes to the buffer that cannot be undone.
%TRUE to enable undo
Sets the maximum number of undo levels to perform.
If 0, unlimited undo actions may be performed. Note that this may have a memory usage impact as it requires storing an additional copy of the inserted or removed text within the text buffer.

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

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Undoes the last undoable action on the buffer, if there is one.
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
Emits the “apply-tag” signal on buffer.

Called to indicate that the buffer operations between here and a call to gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action() are part of a single user-visible operation.
The operations between gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() and
gtk_text_buffer_end_user_action() can then be grouped when creating
an undo stack. GtkTextBuffer maintains a count of calls to
gtk_text_buffer_begin_user_action() that have not been closed with
a call to gtk_text_buffer_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
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.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.
Ends a user-visible operation.
Should be paired with a call to
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.begin_user_action].
See that function for a full explanation.
Inserts a child widget anchor into the text buffer at iter.
The anchor will be counted as one character in character counts, and

include this character for child anchors, but the “text” variants do
not. E.g. see [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_slice] and

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 paintable, but the “text”
variants do not. e.g. see [methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_slice] and
[methodGtk.TextBuffer.get_text].
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
Redoes the next redoable action on the buffer, if there is one.
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.

Undoes the last undoable action on the buffer, if there is one.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an
interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface
will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or,
if you know the interface has already been loaded,
g_type_default_interface_peek().
any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface
name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface

Stores text and attributes for display in a
GtkTextView.You may wish to begin by reading the text widget conceptual overview, which gives an overview of all the objects and data types related to the text widget and how they work together.
GtkTextBuffer can support undoing changes to the buffer content, see [method
Gtk.TextBuffer.set_enable_undo].
