Instead of blindly creating new tags for every attribute,
reuse existing tags. For the syntax highlighting of the
ui file of the cursors demo, this gets us down from
20.000 tags to 6.
We can only insert tags in the buffer if they come
from the same GtkTextTagTable as the buffer uses.
If that is not the case, paste the text without tags.
Fixes: #2991
To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

When inserting Pango markup into a text buffer, translate
Pango attributes for overlines and hyphenation control
into the corresponding text tag properties.
This changes gtk_text_buffer_insert_texture() to
gtk_text_buffer_insert_paintable() which is strictly more useful
(as textures are paintables). It also fixes the code to actually
support drawing the paintables (as well as tracking changes
to the paintables.
This builds upon the GtkTextHistory helper to provide undo and redo support
for the GtkTextView widget and GtkTextBuffer object.
You can undo/redo using familiar shortcuts such as Primary+Z,
Primary+Shift+Z, ad Primary+Y.
Developers that wish to disable undo, should set the
GtkTextBuffer:enable-undo property to FALSE.
You can wrap irreversible actions
gtk_text_buffer_begin_irreversible_action() and
gtk_text_buffer_end_irreversible_action(). This will cause the undo stack
to drop all undo/redo actions and the changes made between them will be
the "initial state" of the buffer.
Calling gtk_text_buffer_set_text() will do this automatically for you.
Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
This API allows specifying a GType and va_args of a value of that type
to set the clipboard contents. This massively simplifies setting weird
object types into the clipboard.
2 example patches included in this patch are the GtkTextBuffer and the
file list in the file chooser.
Using gobject-introspection, this should work without specifying the
type, so that you can literlally say
clipboard.set ("Hello World")
or
clipboard.set (pixbuf)
which is why I've also marked all other setters as (skip). They just
exist in C as wrappers for type safety reasons.
Instead of using GtkClipboard and handling everything ourselves, we now
put GtkTextBuffer into the GdkClipboard and register (de)serializers for
text/plain.
This affects a few apis, such as gtk_text_iter_get_pixbuf,
gtk_text_buffer_insert_pixbuf and GtkTextBuffer::insert-pixbuf,
which have all been replaced by texture equivalents.
Update all callers.
It's unused. Plain text is not using that framework, neither is
in-process same-display transmission.
So it was only useful for sharing text with custom tags across
applications, and nobody is doing that.
Instead of allowing people to pass a uint user-data, insist on them
comparing mime types.
The user data was a uint instead of a pointer anyway, so uniqueness
could not be guaranteed and it caused more issues than it was worth.
And that's ignoring the fact that it basically wasn't used.
This patch makes that work using 1 of 2 options:
1. Add all missing enums to the switch statement
or
2. Cast the switch argument to a uint to avoid having to do that (mostly
for GdkEventType).
I even found a bug while doing that: clearing a GtkImage with a surface
did not notify thae surface property.
The reason for enabling this flag even though it is tedious at times is
that it is very useful when adding values to an enum, because it makes
GTK immediately warn about all the switch statements where this enum is
relevant.
And I expect changes to enums to be frequent during the GTK4 development
cycle.
Avoid crashes when passing an invalid location to a
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_*() function.
A first attempt added boolean return values to know if @iter has been set to
the exact location, but it breaks Python and JS bindings because the out
parameter is already a return value in those languages.
Unit tests are added.

This reverts commit a9a1c00cc9.
Unfortunately, adding the boolean return broke both the python
and javascript bindings, since they now return a tuple consisting
of the boolean and the out argument.
Avoid crashes when passing an invalid location to a
gtk_text_buffer_get_iter_at_*() function.
A boolean is returned to know if @iter has been set to the exact
location.
Unit tests are added.
