ZInputBox is a multi-line text input widget.
If the input text is longer than the height of the widget or wider,
it supports scrolling the text so the currently edited portion of the text is visible.

The text in the text edit can come either from a internally managed instance of :cpp:class:`Tui::ZDocument` or from
a externally managed :cpp:class:`Tui::ZDocument` instance.
An externally managed document can be shared by multiple text edit widgets, in that case each widget has an independent
cursor, selection and scroll position.

For details about how positions and selections work see :ref:`using_document_cursors`.

Example
-------

.. literalinclude:: examples/widgets/textedit.cpp
    :start-after: // snippet-start
    :end-before:  // snippet-end
    :dedent:

Behavior
--------

Text edit widgets by default accept focus, don't have a minimum size and have a expanding vertical and horizontal
layout policy.
The size request of the widget is 0x0.

The user can edit the text by using the keys described in the keyboard usage section.
Additionally the input box accepts text pasted into the terminal and inserts it at the cursor position.
It emits signals when the cursor or scroll position changes.

Unless in detached scrolling mode, the text is always scrolled so that the cursor position is visible.


Palette

ZTextEdit
---------

.. cpp:class:: Tui::ZTextEdit : public Tui::ZWidget

   A multi line text edit widget.

   **Constructors**

   .. cpp:function:: ZTextLine(const Tui::ZTextMetrics &textMetrics, Tui::ZWidget *parent=nullptr)
   .. cpp:function:: ZTextLine(const Tui::ZTextMetrics &textMetrics, Tui::ZDocument *document, Tui::ZWidget *parent=nullptr)

      Create the ZTextEdit with the text metrics ``textMetrics`` and the given ``parent``.

      The variant taking ``document`` sets the document used to ``document`` otherwise it creates a fresh document
      as backing that is automatically deleted when this widget is destructed.

   **Functions**

   .. cpp:function:: void setCursorPosition(Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position position, bool extendSelection=false)

      Sets the "position" point of the text cursor to ``position``.
      If ``extendSelection`` the "anchor" point is kept, otherwise it is set to the same position.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position cursorPosition() const

      Returns the "position" point of the text cursor.

   .. cpp:function:: void setAnchorPosition(Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position position)

      Sets the "anchor" point of the text cursor to ``position``.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position anchorPosition() const

      Returns the "anchor" point of the text cursor.

   .. cpp:function:: void setTextCursor(const Tui::ZDocumentCursor &cursor)

      Sets the text cursor "anchor" and "position" point to the values from ``cursor`` and updates the vertical
      movement position to that of ``cursor``.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZDocumentCursor textCursor() const

      Returns a copy of the editing cursor of the text edit widget.

   .. cpp:function:: void setSelection(Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position anchor, Tui::ZDocumentCursor::Position position)

      Sets the text cursor selection to start at ``anchor`` and end at ``position``.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZDocument *document() const

      Returns the model :cpp:class:`Tui::ZDocument` instance.
      Use this for more control over the document or to access additional apis to observe or edit the text in the widget.

   .. cpp:function:: int lineNumberBorderWidth() const

      Returns the width in columns of the line number border.
      If the line number border is disabled, it returns the width it would have if enabled.

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: virtual int allBordersWidth() const

      Returns the width of all enabled borders.
      The base class only has one border, the line number border.

      Derived classes can override this function to influence the text width used for cursor movement and scrolling
      calculations.

   .. cpp:function:: void setTabStopDistance(int tab)
   .. cpp:function:: int tabStopDistance() const

      The tab stop distance determines in what interval stops for tabs are set.
      These stops are used for hard tabs (\\t characters) as well as for the stops when emulating tabs with spaces and
      for indent and dedent.

   .. cpp:function:: void setShowLineNumbers(bool show)
   .. cpp:function:: bool showLineNumbers() const

      Selects if a border with line numbers is shown.

   .. cpp:function:: void setUseTabChar(bool tab)
   .. cpp:function:: bool useTabChar() const

      Selects if hard tabs (\\t characters) are used as tabs and for indention.

   .. cpp:function:: void setWordWrapMode(Tui::ZTextOption::WrapMode wrap)
   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZTextOption::WrapMode wordWrapMode() const

      Selects the word/line wrapping mode.
      If wrapping is enabled horizontal scrolling is disabled.

   .. cpp:function:: void setOverwriteMode(bool mode)
   .. cpp:function:: void toggleOverwriteMode()
   .. cpp:function:: bool overwriteMode() const

      If set to :cpp:expr:`true`, typed text overwrites existing text.

   **Signals**

   .. cpp:function:: void cursorPositionChanged(int x, int utf16CodeUnit, int utf8CodeUnit, int line)

      This signal is emitted with the current cursor position.
      The ``x`` value is the visual position in the line in columns, the ``utf16CodeUnit`` is position in the line
      in normal (utf16) code units, the ``utf8CodeUnit`` has the same information in utf8 code units as used in files
      and ``line`` is the line in the document.

   .. cpp:function:: void scrollPositionChanged(int x, int line, int fineLine)

      This signal is emitted with the current scroll position.
      The value ``x`` is the amount of columns the text is scrolled to the right, ``line`` is the number of (unwrapped)
      lines scrolled down and ``fineLine`` is the amount of visual lines scrolled in a wrapped logical line.

   .. cpp:function:: void scrollRangeChanged(int x, int y)

   **Protected Functions**

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZTextOption textOption() const

      Returns the :cpp:class:`Tui::ZTextOption` used for painting the text and for various calculations while editing.
      A derived class can override this to change the used text options.
      This does not influence the options used for creating the cursor.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZTextLayout textLayoutForLine(const Tui::ZTextOption &option, int line) const

      Returns the text layout for the line with index ``line`` and using the text option ``option``.

   .. cpp:function:: Tui::ZTextLayout textLayoutForLineWithoutWrapping(int line) const

      Returns the text layout for the line with index ``line`` and the text option returned by
      :cpp:func:`~Tui::ZTextOption Tui::ZTextEdit::textOption() const` but with the text wrap disabled.

   .. cpp:function:: const Tui::ZTextMetrics &textMetrics() const

      Returns the text metrics used by this widget.

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: void adjustScrollPosition()

      Recalculates the scroll position to ensure the cursor is visible (unless detached scrolling is active).
      A derived class can override this to function to change how the scrolling of the widget works.

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: void emitCursorPostionChanged()

      Emits the current cursor position.
      A derived class can override this to change what position is reported in the cursor position changed signal.

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: void updateCommands()

      Updates the active status of the registered commands of this widget.
      A derived class can override this to update additional commands, but it should always invoke the function in the
      base class.

   .. rst-class:: tw-virtual
   .. cpp:function:: void clearAdvancedSelection()

      This function does nothing in the base class, but is called in various places where a selection in created.
      A derived class can override this, if it implements its own selection mode that need to be cleared before
      a selection in the base class is created.
      The derived class likely needs to override the keyEvent handler and re-implement movement and related key
      combinations to get consistent behavior.
