TextBuffer.selectRange
void selectRange(gtk.text_iter.TextIter ins, gtk.text_iter.TextIter bound)This function moves the “insert” and “selection_bound” marks simultaneously.
If you move them in two steps with [gtk.text_buffer.TextBuffer.moveMark], you will temporarily select a region in between their old and new locations, which can be pretty inefficient since the temporarily-selected region will force stuff to be recalculated. This function moves them as a unit, which can be optimized.
Parameters
ins | where to put the “insert” mark |
bound | where to put the “selection_bound” mark |
