'\" The definitions below are for supplemental macros used in Tcl/Tk
'\" manual entries.
'\"
'\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
'\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
'\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
'\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
'\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
'\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
'\"
'\" .AS ?type? ?name?
'\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
'\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
'\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
'\"
'\" .BS
'\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
'\"	enclosed in one large box.
'\"
'\" .BE
'\"	End of box enclosure.
'\"
'\" .CS
'\"	Begin code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .CE
'\"	End code excerpt.
'\"
'\" .VS ?version? ?br?
'\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
'\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
'\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
'\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
'\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
'\"
'\" .VE
'\"	End of vertical sidebar.
'\"
'\" .DS
'\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .DE
'\"	End of indented unfilled display.
'\"
'\" .SO
'\"	Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget.  The
'\"	options follow on successive lines, in four columns separated
'\"	by tabs.
'\"
'\" .SE
'\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
'\"
'\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
'\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the
'\"	option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
'\"	the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
'\"	the option's class in the option database.
'\"
'\" .UL arg1 arg2
'\"	Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.

.TH "ntext" 3tk 0.81 ntext "Alternative Bindings for the Text Widget"
.BS
.SH NAME
ntext \- Alternative Bindings for the Text Widget
.SH SYNOPSIS
package require \fBTcl  8.5\fR
.sp
package require \fBTk  8.5\fR
.sp
package require \fBntext  ?0.81?\fR
.sp
.BE
.SH DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the \fBntext\fR package is to make the text widget behave more like other text-editing applications. It makes the text widget more useful for implementing a text editor, and makes it behave in a way that will be more familiar to most users.
.PP
The package provides a binding tag named \fINtext\fR for use by text widgets in place of the default \fIText\fR binding tag.
.PP
Package \fBntext\fR 's functions and variables are contained entirely in the \fB::ntext\fR namespace; its other code is contained in the binding tag \fINtext\fR.  \fBntext\fR has no exports to the global or other namespaces, and no new widget commands.  It uses modified copies of the Tk code, leaving the original code, and the \fIText\fR binding tag, unchanged.
.PP
The differences between the \fINtext\fR binding tag and the default \fIText\fR binding tag are in three categories:
.IP \(bu
Some \fIText\fR bindings behave differently from most text-editing applications.  \fINtext\fR gives these bindings more familiar behaviour.  For details see \fIntextBindings\fR.
.IP \(bu
When a logical line with leading whitespace is word-wrapped onto more than one display line, the wrapped display lines begin further to the left than the first display line, which can make the text layout untidy and difficult to read.  \fINtext\fR can indent the wrapped lines to match the leading whitespace of the first display line (this facility is switched off by default).  For details see \fIntextIndent\fR.
.IP \(bu
When the user navigates or selects text, Tcl/Tk sometimes needs to detect word boundaries.  \fINtext\fR provides improved rules for word boundary detection.  For details see \fIntextWordBreak\fR.
.PP
The remainder of this page describes the basic use and configuration of all three aspects of \fINtext\fR.  For more detailed information on the different facilities of \fINtext\fR, see the pages \fIntextBindings\fR, \fIntextIndent\fR, and \fIntextWordBreak\fR.
.PP
See Section \fBEXAMPLE\fR for how to apply the \fINtext\fR binding tag in place of the \fIText\fR binding tag.
.SH "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
\fINtext\fR provides alternatives to a number of behaviours of the classic \fIText\fR binding tag.  Where there is an option, the \fINtext\fR behaviour (except for display-line indentation) is switched on by default.
.PP
The behaviour of \fINtext\fR may be configured application-wide by setting the values of a number of namespace variables:
.PP
\fB::ntext::classicAnchor\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - (default value) selects \fINtext\fR behaviour, i.e. the anchor point is fixed
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - selects classic \fIText\fR behaviour, i.e. the anchor point is variable
.PP
.PP
\fB::ntext::classicExtras\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - (default value) selects \fINtext\fR behaviour, i.e. several traditional \fIText\fR bindings are de-activated
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - selects classic \fIText\fR behaviour, i.e. all \fIText\fR bindings are activated
.PP
.PP
\fB::ntext::classicMouseSelect\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - (default value) selects \fINtext\fR behaviour, i.e. the anchor point for mouse selection operations is moved by keyboard navigation
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - selects classic \fIText\fR behaviour
.PP
.PP
\fB::ntext::classicWordBreak\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - (default value) selects \fINtext\fR behaviour, i.e. platform-independent, two classes of word characters and one class of non-word characters.
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - selects classic \fIText\fR behaviour, i.e. platform-dependent, one class of word characters and one class of non-word characters
.IP \(bu
After changing this value, the matching patterns should be recalculated.  See \fIntextWordBreak\fR for details and advanced configuration options.
.PP
.PP
\fB::ntext::classicWrap\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - selects \fINtext\fR behaviour, i.e. display lines of text widgets in \fI-wrap\fR \fIword\fR mode are indented to match the initial whitespace of the first display line of a logical line.  If the widget already holds text when this value is set, a function call may be necessary.  See \fIntextIndent\fR for detailed instructions on the use of \fINtext\fR 's indentation.
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - (default value) selects classic \fIText\fR behaviour, i.e. no indentation
.PP
.PP
\fB::ntext::overwrite\fR
.IP \(bu
\fB0\fR - (initial value) text typed at the keyboard is inserted into the widget
.IP \(bu
\fB1\fR - text typed at the keyboard overwrites text already in the widget
.IP \(bu
The value is toggled by the \fIInsert\fR key.
.PP
