Looks like no one is working on the gtktext widget. One of the main
reasons why Gtk gets beaten up on the Usenet seems to be due to the
absence of a good text widget.
I'm hoping to be able to spend some time working on it. If you have
a wish list please send it to me.

cool! - here is my wish list:
- cut/copy/paste
- unlimited undo/redo - this probably is a bunch of work, but I always
find it very annoying when I cannot use 'undo' in an email editor.
- custom definable key mappings would be nice, so that I can have
undo on ctrl-z (win-style) and the emacs guys can have it on ctrl-_
and so on
- drag and drop to move selected text around
- drag and drop to move/copy selected text in another widget
- very nice to have
Bye bye

Not a wish list per se, but a priority: the text widget's inability to
allow even simple user editing prevents me from writing a notepad-like
utility for Gnome. So ideally I'd like to see this happen first.
Some other things I noticed:
* The text widget should generate "changed" signals when editing
happens. (That way a notepad could know when a file needs to be
saved.)
* The current key handling doesn't look sufficient. I'd like to see
something more like Emacs keymaps, so that multi-key sequences could
be given a meaning. In an ideal world, the entry widget would do this
too, and both would use bindings discovered in ~/.inputrc somehow --
and idea from somebody (forgot who) on the Gnome list.

Actually, with the proper model this can be very simple. The basic idea is
that every function performed on the text widget should add another
function to a list that undoes the function. With sufficient ingenuity,
this one concept gives you unlimited undo/redo with little extra work.
The basic model looks like:
gtk_text_insert(GtkText * widget, char * theText)
{
gtk_text_add_undo(widget, gtk_text_delete, startPos, endPos);
// Deal with insertion
}
gtk_text_delete(GtkText * widget, int startPos, int endPos)
{
gtk_text_add_undo(widget, gtk_text_insert, startPos, theText);
// Deal with deletion
}
Of course, this is _much_ easier in a language other then C, where you
have closures, garbage collected strings, etc. Getting this technique
operating in Gtk is, unfortunately, left as an exercise for the reader.

My idea is that the text widget would provide the basic infrastructure
on which scripting languages would build more complex functionality.
A minimal amount of functionality would also be provided as a default
implementation.

As well as the obvious "get insertion working", I'd like to
see selection handling and internationalized input via XIM.
The entry widget does these reasonably well right now - and could
serve as an example (I still need to add cut/copy/paste via
the clipboard). I'd also be happy to provide assistance with
getting this stuff working.

Owen

I agree. For instance, not every text widget needs undo. But if the
signals are right, you could implement undo as an add-on library
(perhaps this should even come with GTk, I don't know).

Only that, as Josh requested, you don't throw away his existing
text-widget work which is very well thought out. Just needs building

Hi,
I've been spending the last couple of days looking at ways to make
gtktext work. After reading the code a couple of times, I have a rough
idea of how the widget works.
Here's is what I think about it:
1. As things stand now, one needs to call gtk_widget_realize before
calling gtk_text_insert (at least testgtk.c does). I've removed
this unnecessary restriction. In my book, the widget should be as
easy to use as:
gtk_text_new()
gtk_text_insert()
gtk_widget_show()
2. The scroll bars should be automatic from the widget user's point of
view i.e. one doesn't have to explicitly create and attach them.
3. Is there a reason why text->cursor_mark exists ? I think it's
duplicating text->point. Am I missing something here ?
Also, I tried integrating Python-gtk bindings with gnome. I have a
Makefile that works (attached) and am unable to write a Makefile.am
that does the same. Can someone help ? Having a leading underscore in
"_gtkmodule.so" seems to be a problem with automake.

Arun,
I started working on the Text widget last week. I've already got it
editing, and I'm now working on line cache pruning. The best way to
do the scrollbars is to write a container widget which contains the text
widget, and two scrollbars. It's important to do it this way because you
can directly control the size request, eliminating those "all the way up
the container chain" resizes when you hide the scrollbar.
I have run into a few problems with the background pixmap
implimentation. When a line changes size, or you hit "enter", the lines
below are moved down with a gdk_draw_pixmap. Background pixmaps are
handled specially for the text widget, with it's own pixmap tileing
routine. This is done so the pixmap will scroll with the text, instead of
the text scrolling over a fixed pixmap. This works until you want to
reduce flickering and redraws using the pixmap drawing, destroying the
tileing. However, this whole technique leaves somthing to be desired. I
think the best thing to do is replace this code. By creating a extra
parent window, the text window can be allocated exatly one tile wider and
longer than the displayed size, and placed inside the parent window. Then
a background pixmap can be set for the window, and a combination of
gdk_window_move(s) and gdk_draw_pixmap(s) can be used to scroll with the
same effect. I think it would probably even be faster, and less work to
code.

I have been working on a editor using gtk. I got to the point where
I need to use gtktext and found out how broken it is. I was going
through its internals, and found out how little I understood of the
gdk.
If you need someone to test the widget, I have a ready made app in the
alpha stages to drop the widget in.

I do agree with you on this. less code, faster, and less flickering.
I don't understand why you want to allocate the text window one tile
wider and longer than the parent window (in which you have the pixmap)
though.
Anyway, this is the way to go.

I was looking at the text widgets of other toolkits (Motif, Qt and Tk)
and it appears that both Motif and Qt do not support multiple colors
and fonts in the text widget.
To me the line cache, text property list etc seem to be an overkill
for most applications. A simple text widget with good default editing
functions would satisfy the needs of 90% of the applications.
As far as supporting multiple fonts and colors goes - Tk has
mechanisms for inserting arbitrary widgets inside the text widget -
which I found interesting.

This is a heads-up message that I'm going to rip the pixmap support out of
the GtkText widget for now and just concentrate on getting it working. My
reasons are:
1) The current pixmap support has some fundamental design problems, which
I have come up with a solution for.
2) The solution for pixmap support in GtkText can be implimented later
without too many problems.
I'm going to start this weekend, so you have some time to voice
objections.

Jay

Hi.
I've been playing around with gtk for awhile now, and yesterday I
discovered that I couldnt type swedish characters to a gtktext widget.
Is there any way to do this?
A second question: How do I bind a certain keypress to a button?

I'm having a completely different problem..I can't type anything into my
text boxes! The program segfaults as soon as I press a key. Cursor movement
keys (home, end, arrows), work fine, but letters, etc, don't. Any ideas?
Sorry Henrik..I don't have an answer to your question. :/

Apparently, as Swedish characters work fine in the Gtk version of Siag.
I don't remember doing anything special. You are welcome to scrutinize the
sources at
ftp://ftp.edu.stockholm.se/pub/siag/
but I think it should work out of the box.
Hmm, there seems to be some code to handle the key presses after all.

The problem is that the Text widget isn't properly internationalized yet.
You can type the Swedish characters into a entry widget (or another
program) and copy them over...
> A second question: How do I bind a certain keypress to a button?
You can't actually make the keypress visually press the button, but
to get the key to call the button's "clicked" signal, you can
create an accelerator table for the window. (See the menu examples
in the tutorial)
Then, you can do:
gtk_accelerator_table_install (accelerator_table, GTK_OBJECT(button),
clicked, key, modifiers);
Hope this helps,
Owen

In the long term, yes. One of my goals for GTK 2.0 is to make it
work internally with Unicode, and to properly internationalize all
the widgets.
Short term, maybe, maybe not. It would be quite easy to modify the
Text widget to allow Swedish (etc.) characters to be
entered. Unfortunately, that change would also make it possible to
enter characters from the Asian CJK languages.
While that may sound good, the problem is that the text widget has the
implicit assumption that one byte = one character, and the CJK
languages use variable width encodings. So, the result would be
display corruption, and possibly data corruption or core dumps.
Regards,
Owen

Sounds very nice, what are the timetables here, I havent been on this
list long enough to get a grasp on when GTK 1.0 is going to be released
and what is going to happen after that ...

Please make these changes :) I need it :)

So its not possible to limit the damages of such changes to just allow
latin1 characters?
