Implemented Interfaces

GtkSourceView implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkScrollable.

Includes

#include <gtksourceview/gtksource.h>

Description

GtkSourceView is the main class of the GtkSourceView library. Use a GtkSourceBuffer to display text with a GtkSourceView.

This class provides:

  • Show the line numbers;

  • Show a right margin;

  • Highlight the current line;

  • Indentation settings;

  • Configuration for the Home and End keyboard keys;

  • Configure and show line marks;

  • And a few other things.

An easy way to test all these features is to use the test-widget mini-program provided in the GtkSourceView repository, in the tests/ directory.

GtkSourceView as GtkBuildable

The GtkSourceView implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes the “completion” object with the internal-child "completion".

An example of a UI definition fragment with GtkSourceView:

<object class="GtkSourceView" id="source_view">
  <property name="tab_width">4</property>
  <property name="auto_indent">True</property>
  <child internal-child="completion">
    <object class="GtkSourceCompletion">
      <property name="select_on_show">False</property>
    </object>
  </child>
</object>


Changing the Font

Gtk CSS provides the best way to change the font for a GtkSourceView in a manner that allows for components like GtkSourceMap to scale the desired font.

GtkCssProvider *provider = gtk_css_provider_new ();
gtk_css_provider_load_from_data (provider,
                                 "textview { font-family: Monospace; font-size: 8pt; }",
                                 -1,
                                 NULL);
gtk_style_context_add_provider (gtk_widget_get_style_context (view),
                                GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER (provider),
                                GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION);
g_object_unref (provider);

If you need to adjust the font or size of font within a portion of the document only, you should use a GtkTextTag with the “family” or “scale” set so that the font size may be scaled relative to the default font set in CSS.

Functions

GtkWidget *
gtk_source_view_new (void);

Returns

a new GtkSourceView.


gtk_source_view_get_completion ()

GtkSourceCompletion *
gtk_source_view_get_completion (GtkSourceView *view);

Gets the GtkSourceCompletion associated with view . The returned object is guaranteed to be the same for the lifetime of view . Each GtkSourceView object has a different GtkSourceCompletion.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

Returns

the GtkSourceCompletion associated with view .

gtk_source_view_set_auto_indent ()

void
gtk_source_view_set_auto_indent (GtkSourceView *view,
                                 gboolean enable);

If TRUE auto-indentation of text is enabled.

When Enter is pressed to create a new line, the auto-indentation inserts the same indentation as the previous line. This is not a "smart indentation" where an indentation level is added or removed depending on the context.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

enable

whether to enable auto indentation.

 

gtk_source_view_get_auto_indent ()

gboolean
gtk_source_view_get_auto_indent (GtkSourceView *view);

Returns whether auto-indentation of text is enabled.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

Returns

TRUE if auto indentation is enabled.


gtk_source_view_set_indent_on_tab ()

void
gtk_source_view_set_indent_on_tab (GtkSourceView *view,
                                   gboolean enable);

If TRUE, when the tab key is pressed when several lines are selected, the selected lines are indented of one level instead of being replaced with a \t character. Shift+Tab unindents the selection.

If the first or last line is not selected completely, it is also indented or unindented.

When the selection doesn't span several lines, the tab key always replaces the selection with a normal \t character.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

enable

whether to indent a block when tab is pressed.

 

gtk_source_view_get_indent_on_tab ()

gboolean
gtk_source_view_get_indent_on_tab (GtkSourceView *view);

Returns whether when the tab key is pressed the current selection should get indented instead of replaced with the \t character.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

Returns

TRUE if the selection is indented when tab is pressed.


gtk_source_view_set_tab_width ()

void
gtk_source_view_set_tab_width (GtkSourceView *view,
                               guint width);

Sets the width of tabulation in characters. The GtkTextBuffer still contains \t characters, but they can take a different visual width in a GtkSourceView widget.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

width

width of tab in characters.

 

gtk_source_view_get_tab_width ()

guint
gtk_source_view_get_tab_width (GtkSourceView *view);

Returns the width of tabulation in characters.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

Returns

width of tab.


gtk_source_view_set_indent_width ()

void
gtk_source_view_set_indent_width (GtkSourceView *view,
                                  gint width);

Sets the number of spaces to use for each step of indent when the tab key is pressed. If width is -1, the value of the “tab-width” property will be used.

The “indent-width” interacts with the “insert-spaces-instead-of-tabs” property and “tab-width”. An example will be clearer: if the “indent-width” is 4 and “tab-width” is 8 and “insert-spaces-instead-of-tabs” is FALSE, then pressing the tab key at the beginning of a line will insert 4 spaces. So far so good. Pressing the tab key a second time will remove the 4 spaces and insert a \t character instead (since “tab-width” is 8). On the other hand, if “insert-spaces-instead-of-tabs” is TRUE, the second tab key pressed will insert 4 more spaces for a total of 8 spaces in the GtkTextBuffer.

The test-widget program (available in the GtkSourceView repository) may be useful to better understand the indentation settings (enable the space drawing!).

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

width

indent width in characters.

 

gtk_source_view_get_indent_width ()

gint
gtk_source_view_get_indent_width (GtkSourceView *view);

                                gboolean enable);

If TRUE a tab key pressed is replaced by a group of space characters. Of course it is still possible to insert a real \t programmatically with the GtkTextBuffer API.

Parameters

view

a GtkSourceView.

 

enable

whether to insert spaces instead of tabs.

 

gtk_source_view_get_insert_spaces_instead_of_tabs ()
