backward_word_start


Description:

public bool backward_word_start ()

Moves backward to the previous word start.

(If this is currently on a word start, moves backward to the next one after that.) Word breaks are determined by Pango and should be correct for nearly any language (if not, the correct fix would be to the Pango word break algorithms).

Parameters:

this

a TextIter

Returns:

true if this moved and is not the end iterator
