Description

Functions

gedit_document_new ()

GeditDocument *
gedit_document_new (void);

gedit_document_get_file ()

GtkSourceFile *
gedit_document_get_file (GeditDocument *doc);

Gets the associated GtkSourceFile. You should use it only for reading purposes, not for creating a GtkSourceFileLoader or GtkSourceFileSaver, because gedit does some extra work when loading or saving a file and maintains an internal state. If you use in a plugin a file loader or saver on the returned GtkSourceFile, the internal state of gedit won't be updated.

If you want to save the GeditDocument to a secondary file, you can create a new GtkSourceFile and use a GtkSourceFileSaver.

Parameters

doc

a GeditDocument.

 

Returns

the associated GtkSourceFile.

gedit_document_set_search_context ()

void
gedit_document_set_search_context (GeditDocument *doc,
                                   GtkSourceSearchContext *search_context);

Sets the new search context for the document. Use this function only when the search occurrences are highlighted. So this function should not be used for background searches. The purpose is to have only one highlighted search context at a time in the document.

After using this function, you should unref the search_context . The doc should be the only owner of the search_context , so that the Clear Highlight action works. If you need the search_context after calling this function, use gedit_document_get_search_context().

Parameters

doc

a GeditDocument

 

search_context

the new GtkSourceSearchContext.

[allow-none]

gedit_document_get_search_context ()

GtkSourceSearchContext *
gedit_document_get_search_context (GeditDocument *doc);

Gets the search context. Use this function only if you have used gedit_document_set_search_context() before. You should not alter other search contexts, so you have to verify that the returned search context is yours. One way to verify that is to compare the search settings object, or to mark the search context with g_object_set_data().

Parameters

doc

a GeditDocument

 

Returns

the current search context of the document, or NULL if there is no current search context.

[transfer none]

Signal Details

The “cursor-moved” signal

void
user_function (GeditDocument *geditdocument,
               gpointer       user_data)

Flags: Run Last


The “load” signal

void
user_function (GeditDocument *document,
               gpointer       user_data)

The "load" signal is emitted at the beginning of a file loading.

Before gedit 3.14 this signal contained parameters to configure the file loading (the location, encoding, etc). Plugins should not need those parameters.

Parameters

document

the GeditDocument.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last

Since: 2.22


The “loaded” signal

void
user_function (GeditDocument *document,
               gpointer       user_data)

The "loaded" signal is emitted at the end of a successful file loading.

Before gedit 3.14 this signal contained a GError parameter, and the signal was also emitted if an error occurred. Plugins should not need the error parameter.

Parameters

document

the GeditDocument.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First


The “save” signal

void
user_function (GeditDocument *document,
               gpointer       user_data)

The "save" signal is emitted at the beginning of a file saving.

Before gedit 3.14 this signal contained parameters to configure the file saving (the location, encoding, etc). Plugins should not need those parameters.

Parameters

document

the GeditDocument.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last

Since: 2.20


The “saved” signal

void
user_function (GeditDocument *document,
               gpointer       user_data)

The "saved" signal is emitted at the end of a successful file saving.

Before gedit 3.14 this signal contained a GError parameter, and the signal was also emitted if an error occurred. To save a document, a plugin can use the gedit_commands_save_document_async() function and get the result of the operation with gedit_commands_save_document_finish().

Parameters

document

the GeditDocument.

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.
