TextMark

class TextMark(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Constructors:

TextMark(**properties)
new(name:str=None, left_gravity:bool) -> Gtk.TextMark

Constructors

class TextMark

classmethod new(name: str | None, left_gravity: bool) → TextMark

Creates a text mark.

Add it to a buffer using add_mark. If name is None, the mark is anonymous; otherwise, the mark can be retrieved by name using 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).

Parameters:

name – mark name
left_gravity – whether the mark should have left gravity

Methods

class TextMark

get_buffer() → TextBuffer | None

Gets the buffer this mark is located inside.

Returns None if the mark is deleted.

get_deleted() → bool

Returns True if the mark has been removed from its buffer.

See add_mark for a way to add it to a buffer again.

get_left_gravity() → bool: Determines whether the mark has left gravity.

get_name() → str | None

Returns the mark name.

Returns None for anonymous marks.

get_visible() → bool

Returns True if the mark is visible.

A cursor is displayed for visible marks.

set_visible(setting: bool) → None

Parameters:: setting

Properties

class TextMark

props.left_gravity: bool

Whether the mark has left gravity.

When text is inserted at the mark’s current location, if the mark has left gravity it will be moved to the left of the newly-inserted text, otherwise to the right.

props.name: str: The name of the mark or None if the mark is anonymous.
