move_cursor


Description:

public virtual signal bool move_cursor (MovementStep step, int count)

The move_cursor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with emit_by_name if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal come in two variants, the variant with the Shift modifier extends the selection, the variant without the Shift modifer does not. There are too many key combinations to list them all here. - Arrow keys move by individual children - Home/End keys move to the ends of the box - PageUp/PageDown keys move vertically by pages

Parameters:

step

the granularity fo the move, as a MovementStep

count

the number of step units to move

Returns:

true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.
