## Detailed Description

The QsciScintilla class implements a higher level, more Qt-like, API to the Scintilla editor widget.

QsciScintilla implements methods, signals and slots similar to those found in other Qt editor classes. It also provides a higher level interface to features specific to Scintilla such as syntax styling, call tips, auto-indenting and auto-completion than that provided by QsciScintillaBase.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

This enum defines the different auto-indentation styles.

Enumerator:

  AiMaintain | A line is automatically indented to match the previous line.
  AiOpening | If the language supported by the current lexer has a specific start of block character (e.g. { in C++), then a line that begins with that character is indented as well as the lines that make up the block. It may be logically ored with AiClosing.
  AiClosing | If the language supported by the current lexer has a specific end of block character (e.g. } in C++), then a line that begins with that character is indented as well as the lines that make up the block. It may be logically ored with AiOpening.

enum QsciScintilla::AnnotationDisplay

This enum defines the different annotation display styles.

Enumerator:

  AnnotationHidden | Annotations are not displayed.
  AnnotationStandard | Annotations are drawn left justified with no adornment.
  AnnotationBoxed | Annotations are surrounded by a box.

enum QsciScintilla::AutoCompletionSource

This enum defines the different sources for auto-completion lists.

Enumerator:

  AcsNone | No sources are used, ie. automatic auto-completion is disabled.
  AcsAll | The source is all available sources.
  AcsDocument | The source is the current document.
  AcsAPIs | The source is any installed APIs.

enum QsciScintilla::BraceMatch

This enum defines the different brace matching modes. The character pairs {}, [] and () are treated as braces. The Python lexer will also match a : with the end of the corresponding indented block.

enum QsciScintilla::EdgeMode

This enum defines the different edge modes for long lines.

Enumerator:

  EdgeNone | Long lines are not marked.
  EdgeLine | A vertical line is drawn at the column set by setEdgeColumn(). This is recommended for monospace fonts.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual QStringList QsciScintilla::apiContext | ( | int | pos,
|  | int & | context_start,
|  | int & | last_word_start |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Returns the API context, which is a list of words, before the position pos in the document. The context can be used by auto-completion and call tips to help to identify which API call the user is referring to. In the default implementation the current lexer determines what characters make up a word, and what characters determine the boundaries of words (ie. the start characters). If there is no current lexer then the context will consist of a single word. On return context_start will contain the position in the document of the start of the context and last_word_start will contain the position in the document of the start of the last word of the context.

If wo is true then the search looks for whole word matches only, otherwise it searches for any matching text.

If wrap is true then the search wraps around the end of the text.

If forward is true (the default) then the search is forward from the starting position to the end of the text, otherwise it is backwards to the beginning of the text.

If either line or index are negative (the default) then the search begins from the current cursor position. Otherwise the search begins at position index of line line.

If show is true (the default) then any text found is made visible (ie. it is unfolded).

| ) |  |  |

Define a type of marker using the symbol sym with the marker number mnr. If mnr is -1 then the marker number is automatically allocated. The marker number is returned or -1 if too many types of marker have been defined.

Markers are small geometric symbols and characters used, for example, to indicate the current line or, in debuggers, to indicate breakpoints. If a margin has a width of 0 then its markers are not drawn, but their background colours affect the background colour of the corresponding line of text.

There may be up to 32 types of marker defined at a time and each line of text has a set of marker instances associated with it. Markers are drawn according to their numerical identifier. Markers try to move with their text by tracking where the start of their line moves to. For example, when a line is deleted its markers are added to previous line's markers.

Each marker type is identified by a marker number. Each instance of a marker is identified by a marker handle.

int QsciScintilla::markerDefine | ( | char | ch,
|  | int | mnr = `-1` |

|  | int | indexFrom,
|  | int | lineTo,
|  | int | indexTo |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the selection which starts at position indexFrom in line lineFrom and ends at position indexTo in line lineTo. The cursor is moved to position indexTo in lineTo.

  getSelection()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setSelectionBackgroundColor | ( | const QColor & | col | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the background colour, including the alpha component, of selected text to col.

See also:
  resetSelectionBackgroundColor(), setSelectionForegroundColor()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setSelectionForegroundColor | ( | const QColor & | col | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the foreground colour of selected text to col.

See also:
  resetSelectionForegroundColor(), setSelectionBackgroundColor()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setTabIndents | ( | bool | indent | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

If indent is true then the tab key will indent a line rather than insert a tab character.

See also:
  tabIndents(), backspaceUnindents(), setBackspaceUnindents()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setTabWidth | ( | int | width | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the tab width to width characters.

  tabWidth()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setText | ( | const QString & | text | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Replaces all of the current text with text. Note that the undo/redo history is cleared by this function.

See also:
  text()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setUtf8 | ( | bool | cp | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the current text encoding. If cp is true then UTF8 is used, otherwise Latin1 is used.

  isUtf8()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setWhitespaceVisibility | ( | WhitespaceVisibility | mode | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the visibility of whitespace to mode mode. The default is that whitespace is invisible.

See also:
  whitespaceVisibility()

virtual void QsciScintilla::setWrapMode | ( | WrapMode | mode | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Sets the line wrap mode to mode mode. The default is that lines are not wrapped.

See also:
  wrapMode()

virtual void QsciScintilla::undo | ( |  | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Undo the last change or sequence of changes.

Scintilla has multiple level undo and redo. It will continue to record undoable actions until memory runs out. Sequences of typing or deleting are compressed into single actions to make it easier to undo and redo at a sensible level of detail. Sequences of actions can be combined into actions that are undone as a unit. These sequences occur between calls to beginUndoAction() and endUndoAction(). These sequences can be nested and only the top level sequences are undone as units.

  beginUndoAction(), endUndoAction(), isUndoAvailable()

virtual void QsciScintilla::unindent | ( | int | line | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Decreases the indentation of line line by an indentation width.

  zoomOut(), zoomTo()

virtual void QsciScintilla::zoomIn | ( |  | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Zooms in on the text by by making the base font size one point larger and recalculating all font sizes.

virtual void QsciScintilla::zoomOut | ( | int | range | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Zooms out on the text by by making the base font size range points smaller and recalculating all font sizes.

See also:
  zoomIn(), zoomTo()

virtual void QsciScintilla::zoomOut | ( |  | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Zooms out on the text by by making the base font size one point larger and recalculating all font sizes.

virtual void QsciScintilla::zoomTo | ( | int | size | ) | `[virtual, slot]`

Zooms the text by making the base font size size points and recalculating all font sizes.

  zoomIn(), zoomOut()

void QsciScintilla::cursorPositionChanged | ( | int | line,
|  | int | pos |
| ) |  |  | `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the cursor position changes. line contains the line number and pos contains the character position within the line.

void QsciScintilla::copyAvailable | ( | bool | yes | ) | `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever text is selected or de-selected. yes is true if text has been selected and false if text has been deselected. If yes is true then copy() can be used to copy the selection to the clipboard. If yes is false then copy() does nothing.

See also:
  copy(), selectionChanged()

void QsciScintilla::marginClicked | ( | int | margin,
|  | int | line,
|  | Qt::KeyboardModifiers | state |
| ) |  |  | `[signal]`

This signal is emitted whenever the user clicks on a sensitive margin. margin is the margin. line is the number of the line where the user clicked. state is the state of the modifier keys (Qt::ShiftModifier, Qt::ControlModifier and Qt::AltModifer) when the user clicked.
