Detailed Description¶
Introduction and Concepts¶
QTextEdit
is an advanced WYSIWYG viewer/editor supporting rich text formatting using HTML-style tags. It is optimized to handle large documents and to respond quickly to user input.
QTextEdit
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. The words in the paragraph are aligned in accordance with the paragraph’s alignment. Paragraphs are separated by hard line breaks. Each character within a paragraph has its own attributes, for example, font and color.
QTextEdit
can display images, lists and tables. If the text is too large to view within the text edit’s viewport, scroll bars will appear. The text edit can load both plain text and rich text files. Rich text is described using a subset of HTML 4 markup, refer to the Supported HTML Subset page for more information.If you just need to display a small piece of rich text use
QLabel
.The rich text support in Qt is designed to provide a fast, portable and efficient way to add reasonable online help facilities to applications, and to provide a basis for rich text editors. If you find the HTML support insufficient for your needs you may consider the use of Qt WebKit, which provides a full-featured web browser widget.
The shape of the mouse cursor on a
QTextEdit
isIBeamCursor
by default. It can be changed through theviewport()
‘s cursor property.
Using QTextEdit as a Display Widget¶
QTextEdit
can display a large HTML subset, including tables and images.The text is set or replaced using
setHtml()
which deletes any existing text and replaces it with the text passed in thesetHtml()
call. If you callsetHtml()
with legacy HTML, and then calltoHtml()
, the text that is returned may have different markup, but will render the same. The entire text can be deleted withclear()
.Text itself can be inserted using the
QTextCursor
class or using the convenience functionsinsertHtml()
,insertPlainText()
,append()
orpaste()
.QTextCursor
is also able to insert complex objects like tables or lists into the document, and it deals with creating selections and applying changes to selected text.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, orNoWrap
if you don’t want any wrapping. CallsetLineWrapMode()
to set a fixed pixel widthFixedPixelWidth
, or character column (e.g. 80 column)FixedColumnWidth
with the pixels or columns specified withsetLineWrapColumnOrWidth()
. If you use word wrap to the widget’s widthWidgetWidth
, you can specify whether to break on whitespace or anywhere withsetWordWrapMode()
.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
QTextEdit
, as for example it is often useful in a log viewer, then you can useQTextDocument
‘s maximumBlockCount property for that.
Read-only Key Bindings¶
When
QTextEdit
is used read-only the key bindings are limited to navigation, and text may only be selected with the mouse:
Keypresses
Action
Up
Moves one line up.
Down
Moves one line down.
Left
Moves one character to the left.
Right
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.
The text edit may be able to provide some meta-information. For example, the
documentTitle()
function will return the text from within HTML<title>
tags.Note
Zooming into HTML documents only works if the font-size is not set to a fixed size.
Using QTextEdit as an Editor¶
All the information about using
QTextEdit
as a display widget also applies here.The current char format’s attributes are set with
setFontItalic()
,setFontWeight()
,setFontUnderline()
,setFontFamily()
,setFontPointSize()
,setTextColor()
andsetCurrentFont()
. The current paragraph’s alignment is set withsetAlignment()
.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 thetextCursor()
method. If you want to set a selection inQTextEdit
just create one on aQTextCursor
object and then make that cursor the visible cursor usingsetTextCursor()
. The selection can be copied to the clipboard withcopy()
, or cut to the clipboard withcut()
. The entire text can be selected usingselectAll()
.When the cursor is moved and the underlying formatting attributes change, the
currentCharFormatChanged()
signal is emitted to reflect the new attributes at the new cursor position.The
textChanged()
signal is emitted whenever the text changes (as a result ofsetText()
or through the editor itself).
QTextEdit
holds aQTextDocument
object which can be retrieved using thedocument()
method. You can also set your own document object usingsetDocument()
.
QTextDocument
provides anisModified()
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.
Drag and Drop¶
QTextEdit
also supports custom drag and drop behavior. By default,QTextEdit
will insert plain text, HTML and rich text when the user drops data of these MIME types onto a document. ReimplementcanInsertFromMimeData()
andinsertFromMimeData()
to add support for additional MIME types.For example, to allow the user to drag and drop an image onto a
QTextEdit
, you could the implement these functions in the following way:def canInsertFromMimeData(source): if source.hasImage: return True else: return QTextEdit.canInsertFromMimeData(source)We add support for image MIME types by returning true. For all other MIME types, we use the default implementation.
void TextEdit::insertFromMimeData( const QMimeData *source ) { if (source->hasImage()) { QImage image = qvariant_cast<QImage>(source->imageData()); QTextCursor cursor = this->textCursor(); QTextDocument *document = this->document(); document->addResource(QTextDocument::ImageResource, QUrl("image"), image); cursor.insertImage("image"); } }We unpack the image from the
QVariant
held by the MIME source and insert it into the document as a resource.
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.
Left
Moves the cursor one character to the left.
Ctrl+Left
Moves the cursor one word to the left.
Right
Moves the cursor one character to the right.
Ctrl+Right
Moves the cursor one word to the right.
Up
Moves the cursor one line up.
Down
Moves the cursor one line 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).
To select (mark) text hold down the Shift key whilst pressing one of the movement keystrokes, for example, Shift+Right will select the character to the right, and Shift+Ctrl+Right will select the word to the right, etc.
