<Docs>
<summary>Returns the text in the given range.</summary>
<param name="end"> iterator at end of a range</param>
<returns> slice of text from the buffer</returns>
<remarks>A "slice" is an array of characters encoded in UTF-8 format, including the Unicode "unknown" character 0xFFFC for iterable non-character elements in the buffer, such as images. Because images are encoded in the slice, byte and character offsets in the returned array will correspond to byte offsets in the text buffer. Note that 0xFFFC can occur in normal text as well, so it is not a reliable indicator that a pixbuf or widget is in the buffer.</remarks>

<Docs>
<summary>Returns whether the character at iter is within an editable region of text.</summary>
<param name="default_setting">
<see langword="true" /> if text is editable by default</param>
<returns> whether iter is inside an editable range</returns>
<remarks>
<para>
Non-editable text is "locked" and cannot be changed by the user via <see cref="T:Gtk.TextView" />. This function is simply a convenience wrapper around <see cref="M:Gtk.TextIter.GetAttributes()" />. If no tags applied to this text effect editability, <paramref name="default_setting" /> will be returned.
</para>
<para>
You do not want to use this function to decide whether text can be inserted at iter, because for insertion you do not want to know whether the char at iter is inside an editable range, you want to know whether a new character inserted at iter would be inside an editable range. Use <see cref="M:Gtk.TextIter.CanInsert()" /> to handle this case.

<Docs>
<summary>Moves this iterator forward by one character offset.</summary>
<returns>A boolean: <see langword="true" /> if the iterator moved and is dereferenceable.</returns>
<remarks>Note that images embedded in the buffer occupy 1 character slot, so this may actually move onto an image instead of a character, if you have images in your buffer. If this object is the end iterator or one character before it, the object will now point at the end iterator, and return <see langword="false" /> for convenience when writing loops.</remarks>

<returns>true if the operation succeeded.</returns>
<remarks>Moves count lines backward, if possible (if count would move past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer). The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if the iterator didn't move, or moved onto the end iterator, then <see langword="false" /> is returned. If count is 0, the function does nothing and returns <see langword="false" />. If count is negative, moves forward by 0 - count lines.</remarks>

<remarks>Returns <see langword="true" /> if iter points to the start of the paragraph delimiter characters for a line (delimiters will be either a newline, a carriage return, a carriage return followed by a newline, or a Unicode paragraph separator character). Note that an iterator pointing to the \n of a \r\n pair will not be counted as the end of a line, the line ends before the \r. The end iterator is considered to be at the end of a line, even though there are no paragraph delimiter chars there.</remarks>

<remarks>Cursor positions are (unsurprisingly) positions where the cursor can appear. Perhaps surprisingly, there may not be a cursor position between all characters. The most common example for European languages would be a carriage return/newline sequence. For some Unicode characters, the equivalent of say the letter "a" with an accent mark will be represented as two characters, first the letter then a "combining mark" that causes the accent to be rendered; so the cursor cannot go between those two characters.</remarks>

<para>
Any match is returned by setting <paramref name="match_start" /> to the first character of the match and <paramref name="match_end" /> to the first character after the match. The search will not continue past limit. Note that a search is a linear or O(n) operation, so you may wish to use limit to avoid locking up your UI on large buffers.
</para>
<para>
If the GTK_TEXT_SEARCH_VISIBLE_ONLY flag is present, the match may have invisible text interspersed in str. i.e. str will be a possibly-noncontiguous subsequence of the matched range. similarly, if you specify GTK_TEXT_SEARCH_TEXT_ONLY, the match may have pixbufs or child widgets mixed inside the matched range. If these flags are not given, the match must be exact; the special 0xFFFC character in str will match embedded pixbufs or child widgets.

<ReturnType>System.Boolean</ReturnType>
</ReturnValue>
<Parameters />
<Docs>
<summary>
Moves forward to the next visible word end.
(If the iterator is currently on a
word end, moves forward to the next one after that.)
</summary>
<returns>a <see cref="T:System.Boolean" />, true if the iterator moved and is not at the end.</returns>
<remarks>
Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any
language (if not, the correct fix would be to the Pango word break
algorithms).
