Re: Position of cursor

Jp was on the right track with getting the mark. Unfortunately I don't think there is a quicker way than this: 1) Get the mark $mark = $buffer->get_insert(); 2) Get the iter at the mark $iter = $buffer->get_iter_at_mark($mark); 3) Get the offset (position) at the iter $offset = $iter->get_offset(); Of course you could turn this into one big line but readability suffers $offset = $buffer->get_iter_at_mark($buffer->get_insert())->get_offset(); Scott Ivan Rodriguez wrote:

Thanks but this is incorrect, get_insert() returns GtkTextMark and not an integer what i need :( On 10/27/05, Jp <jp@jp-corner.uni.cc> wrote:

Hum, if I had to take a guess, I'd say GtkTextBuffer::get_insert()
