CodeEdit is a specialized TextEdit designed for editing plain text code files. It has many features commonly found in code editors such as line numbers, line folding, code completion, indent management, and string/comment management.
Emitted when a breakpoint is added or removed from a line. If the line is moved via backspace a removed is emitted at the old line.
Emitted when the user requests code completion. This signal will not be sent if _request_code_completion() is overridden or code_completion_enabled is false
.
Emitted when the user hovers over a symbol. Unlike Control.mouse_entered, this signal is not emitted immediately, but when the cursor is over the symbol for ProjectSettings.gui/timers/tooltip_delay_sec seconds.
Note: symbol_tooltip_on_hover must be true
for this signal to be emitted.
Emitted when the user has clicked on a valid symbol.
Emitted when the user hovers over a symbol. The symbol should be validated and responded to, by calling set_symbol_lookup_word_as_valid().
Note: symbol_lookup_on_click must be true
for this signal to be emitted.
KIND_CLASS = 0
Marks the option as a class.
KIND_FUNCTION = 1
Marks the option as a function.
KIND_SIGNAL = 2
Marks the option as a Godot signal.
KIND_VARIABLE = 3
Marks the option as a variable.
KIND_MEMBER = 4
Marks the option as a member.
KIND_ENUM = 5
Marks the option as an enum entry.
KIND_CONSTANT = 6
Marks the option as a constant.
KIND_NODE_PATH = 7
Marks the option as a Godot node path.
KIND_FILE_PATH = 8
Marks the option as a file path.
KIND_PLAIN_TEXT = 9
Marks the option as unclassified or plain text.
LOCATION_LOCAL = 0
The option is local to the location of the code completion query - e.g. a local variable. Subsequent value of location represent options from the outer class, the exact value represent how far they are (in terms of inner classes).
LOCATION_PARENT_MASK = 256
The option is from the containing class or a parent class, relative to the location of the code completion query. Perform a bitwise OR with the class depth (e.g. 0
for the local class, 1
for the parent, 2
for the grandparent, etc.) to store the depth of an option in the class or a parent class.
LOCATION_OTHER_USER_CODE = 512
The option is from user code which is not local and not in a derived class (e.g. Autoload Singletons).
LOCATION_OTHER = 1024
The option is from other engine code, not covered by the other enum constants - e.g. built-in classes.
If true
, uses auto_brace_completion_pairs to automatically insert the closing brace when the opening brace is inserted by typing or autocompletion. Also automatically removes the closing brace when using backspace on the opening brace.
If true
, highlights brace pairs when the caret is on either one, using auto_brace_completion_pairs. If matching, the pairs will be underlined. If a brace is unmatched, it is colored with brace_mismatch_color.
Sets the brace pairs to be autocompleted. For each entry in the dictionary, the key is the opening brace and the value is the closing brace that matches it. A brace is a String made of symbols. See auto_brace_completion_enabled and auto_brace_completion_highlight_matching.
If true
, the ProjectSettings.input/ui_text_completion_query action requests code completion. To handle it, see _request_code_completion() or code_completion_requested.
Sets prefixes that will trigger code completion.
Sets the comment delimiters. All existing comment delimiters will be removed.
Sets the string delimiters. All existing string delimiters will be removed.
If true
, bookmarks are drawn in the gutter. This gutter is shared with breakpoints and executing lines. See set_line_as_bookmarked().
If true
, breakpoints are drawn in the gutter. This gutter is shared with bookmarks and executing lines. Clicking the gutter will toggle the breakpoint for the line, see set_line_as_breakpoint().
If true
, executing lines are marked in the gutter. This gutter is shared with breakpoints and bookmarks. See set_line_as_executing().
If true
, the fold gutter is drawn. In this gutter, the can_fold_code_region icon is drawn for each foldable line (see can_fold_line()) and the folded_code_region icon is drawn for each folded line (see is_line_folded()). These icons can be clicked to toggle the fold state, see toggle_foldable_line(). line_folding must be true
to show icons.
If true
, the line number gutter is drawn. Line numbers start at 1
and are incremented for each line of text. Clicking and dragging in the line number gutter will select entire lines of text.
If true
, line numbers drawn in the gutter are zero padded based on the total line count. Requires gutters_draw_line_numbers to be set to true
.
If true
, an extra indent is automatically inserted when a new line is added and a prefix in indent_automatic_prefixes is found. If a brace pair opening key is found, the matching closing brace will be moved to another new line (see auto_brace_completion_pairs).
Prefixes to trigger an automatic indent. Used when indent_automatic is set to true
.
Size of the tabulation indent (one Tab press) in characters. If indent_use_spaces is enabled the number of spaces to use.
Use spaces instead of tabs for indentation.
If true
, lines can be folded. Otherwise, line folding methods like fold_line() will not work and can_fold_line() will always return false
. See gutters_draw_fold_gutter.
Draws vertical lines at the provided columns. The first entry is considered a main hard guideline and is draw more prominently.
Set when a validated word from symbol_validate is clicked, the symbol_lookup should be emitted.
Set when a word is hovered, the symbol_hovered should be emitted.
Override this method to define how the selected entry should be inserted. If replace
is true
, any existing text should be replaced.
Override this method to define what items in candidates
should be displayed.
Both candidates
and the return is a Array of Dictionary, see get_code_completion_option() for Dictionary content.
Override this method to define what happens when the user requests code completion. If force
is true
, any checks should be bypassed.
Adds a brace pair.
Both the start and end keys must be symbols. Only the start key has to be unique.
Submits an item to the queue of potential candidates for the autocomplete menu. Call update_code_completion_options() to update the list.
location
indicates location of the option relative to the location of the code completion query. See CodeCompletionLocation for how to set this value.
Note: This list will replace all current candidates.
Adds a comment delimiter from start_key
to end_key
. Both keys should be symbols, and start_key
must not be shared with other delimiters.
If line_only
is true
or end_key
is an empty String, the region does not carry over to the next line.
Defines a string delimiter from start_key
to end_key
. Both keys should be symbols, and start_key
must not be shared with other delimiters.
If line_only
is true
or end_key
is an empty String, the region does not carry over to the next line.
Returns true
if the given line is foldable. A line is foldable if it is the start of a valid code region (see get_code_region_start_tag()), if it is the start of a comment or string block, or if the next non-empty line is more indented (see TextEdit.get_indent_level()).
Cancels the autocomplete menu.
Clears all bookmarked lines.
Clears all breakpointed lines.
Removes all comment delimiters.
Clears all executed lines.
Removes all string delimiters.
Inserts the selected entry into the text. If replace
is true
, any existing text is replaced rather than merged.
Converts the indents of lines between from_line
and to_line
to tabs or spaces as set by indent_use_spaces.
Values of -1
convert the entire text.
Creates a new code region with the selection. At least one single line comment delimiter have to be defined (see add_comment_delimiter()).
A code region is a part of code that is highlighted when folded and can help organize your script.
Code region start and end tags can be customized (see set_code_region_tags()).
Code regions are delimited using start and end tags (respectively region
and endregion
by default) preceded by one line comment delimiter. (eg. #region
and #endregion
)
Deletes all lines that are selected or have a caret on them.
If there is no selection, indentation is inserted at the caret. Otherwise, the selected lines are indented like indent_lines(). Equivalent to the ProjectSettings.input/ui_text_indent action. The indentation characters used depend on indent_use_spaces and indent_size.
Duplicates all lines currently selected with any caret. Duplicates the entire line beneath the current one no matter where the caret is within the line.
Duplicates all selected text and duplicates all lines with a caret on them.
Folds all lines that are possible to be folded (see can_fold_line()).
Folds the given line, if possible (see can_fold_line()).
