GtkSource-5 ▶ GtkSource ▶ Indenter ▶ Interface

This function should be implemented to alter the indentation of text within the view.

view is provided so that the indenter may retrieve settings such as indentation and tab widths.

iter is the location where the indentation was requested. This typically is after having just inserted a newline (\n) character but can be other situations such as a manually requested indentation or reformatting.

See GtkSource.Indenter.is_trigger for how to trigger indentation on various characters inserted into the buffer.

The implementor of this function is expected to keep iter valid across calls to the function and should contain the location of the insert mark after calling this function.

The default implementation for this virtual function will copy the indentation of the previous line.

This function is used to determine if a key pressed should cause the indenter to automatically indent.

The default implementation of this virtual method will check to see if keyval is Gdk.KEY_Return or Gdk.KEY_KP_Enter and state does not have Gdk.ModifierType.SHIFT_MASK set. This is to allow the user to avoid indentation when Shift+Return is pressed. Other indenters may want to copy this behavior to provide a consistent experience to users.
