Detailed Description

Introduction and Concepts

QPlainTextEdit is an advanced viewer/editor supporting plain text. It is optimized to handle large documents and to respond quickly to user input.

QPlainText uses very much the same technology and concepts as QTextEdit , but is optimized for plain text handling.

QPlainTextEdit works on paragraphs and characters. A paragraph is a formatted string which is word-wrapped to fit into the width of the widget. By default when reading plain text, one newline signifies a paragraph. A document consists of zero or more paragraphs. Paragraphs are separated by hard line breaks. Each character within a paragraph has its own attributes, for example, font and color.

The shape of the mouse cursor on a QPlainTextEdit is IBeamCursor by default. It can be changed through the viewport() ‘s cursor property.

Using QPlainTextEdit as a Display Widget

The text is set or replaced using setPlainText() which deletes the existing text and replaces it with the text passed to setPlainText() .

Text can be inserted using the QTextCursor class or using the convenience functions insertPlainText() , appendPlainText() or paste() .

By default, the text edit wraps words at whitespace to fit within the text edit widget. The setLineWrapMode() function is used to specify the kind of line wrap you want, WidgetWidth or NoWrap if you don’t want any wrapping. If you use word wrap to the widget’s width WidgetWidth , you can specify whether to break on whitespace or anywhere with setWordWrapMode() .

The find() function can be used to find and select a given string within the text.

If you want to limit the total number of paragraphs in a QPlainTextEdit , as it is for example useful in a log viewer, then you can use the maximumBlockCount property. The combination of setMaximumBlockCount() and appendPlainText() turns QPlainTextEdit into an efficient viewer for log text. The scrolling can be reduced with the centerOnScroll() property, making the log viewer even faster. Text can be formatted in a limited way, either using a syntax highlighter (see below), or by appending html-formatted text with appendHtml() . While QPlainTextEdit does not support complex rich text rendering with tables and floats, it does support limited paragraph-based formatting that you may need in a log viewer.

Read-only Key Bindings

When QPlainTextEdit is used read-only the key bindings are limited to navigation, and text may only be selected with the mouse:

Keypresses	Action
UpArrow	Moves one line up.
DownArrow	Moves one line down.
LeftArrow	Moves one character to the left.
RightArrow	Moves one character to the right.
PageUp	Moves one (viewport) page up.
PageDown	Moves one (viewport) page down.
Home	Moves to the beginning of the text.
End	Moves to the end of the text.
Alt+Wheel	Scrolls the page horizontally (the Wheel is the mouse wheel).
Ctrl+Wheel	Zooms the text.
Ctrl+A	Selects all text.

Using QPlainTextEdit as an Editor

All the information about using QPlainTextEdit as a display widget also applies here.

Selection of text is handled by the QTextCursor class, which provides functionality for creating selections, retrieving the text contents or deleting selections. You can retrieve the object that corresponds with the user-visible cursor using the textCursor() method. If you want to set a selection in QPlainTextEdit just create one on a QTextCursor object and then make that cursor the visible cursor using setCursor() . The selection can be copied to the clipboard with copy() , or cut to the clipboard with cut() . The entire text can be selected using selectAll() .

QPlainTextEdit holds a QTextDocument object which can be retrieved using the document() method. You can also set your own document object using setDocument() . QTextDocument emits a textChanged() signal if the text changes and it also provides a isModified() function which will return true if the text has been modified since it was either loaded or since the last call to setModified with false as argument. In addition it provides methods for undo and redo.

Syntax Highlighting

Just like QTextEdit , QPlainTextEdit works together with QSyntaxHighlighter .

Editing Key Bindings

The list of key bindings which are implemented for editing:

Keypresses	Action
Backspace	Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
Delete	Deletes the character to the right of the cursor.
Ctrl+C	Copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Ctrl+Insert	Copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Ctrl+K	Deletes to the end of the line.
Ctrl+V	Pastes the clipboard text into text edit.
Shift+Insert	Pastes the clipboard text into text edit.
Ctrl+X	Deletes the selected text and copies it to the clipboard.
Shift+Delete	Deletes the selected text and copies it to the clipboard.
Ctrl+Z	Undoes the last operation.
Ctrl+Y	Redoes the last operation.
LeftArrow	Moves the cursor one character to the left.
Ctrl+LeftArrow	Moves the cursor one word to the left.
RightArrow	Moves the cursor one character to the right.
Ctrl+RightArrow	Moves the cursor one word to the right.
UpArrow	Moves the cursor one line up.
Ctrl+UpArrow	Moves the cursor one word up.
DownArrow	Moves the cursor one line down.
Ctrl+Down Arrow	Moves the cursor one word down.
PageUp	Moves the cursor one page up.
PageDown	Moves the cursor one page down.
Home	Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Ctrl+Home	Moves the cursor to the beginning of the text.
End	Moves the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl+End	Moves the cursor to the end of the text.
Alt+Wheel	Scrolls the page horizontally (the Wheel is the mouse wheel).
Ctrl+Wheel	Zooms the text.

To select (mark) text hold down the Shift key whilst pressing one of the movement keystrokes, for example, Shift+Right Arrow will select the character to the right, and Shift+Ctrl+Right Arrow will select the word to the right, etc.

Differences to QTextEdit

QPlainTextEdit is a thin class, implemented by using most of the technology that is behind QTextEdit and QTextDocument . Its performance benefits over QTextEdit stem mostly from using a different and simplified text layout called QPlainTextDocumentLayout on the text document (see setDocumentLayout() ). The plain text document layout does not support tables nor embedded frames, and replaces a pixel-exact height calculation with a line-by-line respectively paragraph-by-paragraph scrolling approach . This makes it possible to handle significantly larger documents, and still resize the editor with line wrap enabled in real time. It also makes for a fast log viewer (see setMaximumBlockCount() ).
