A `GtkEditableLabel` is a label that allows users to edit the text by switching to an “edit mode”.

`GtkEditableLabel` does not have API of its own, but it implements the [[email protected]] interface.

The default bindings for activating the edit mode is to click or press the Enter key. The default bindings for leaving the edit mode are the Enter key (to save the results) or the Escape key (to cancel the editing).
