Gtk.Editable::insert-text

function callback(editable, new_text:String, new_text_length:Number, position:Number, ):void;

This signal is emitted when text is inserted into the widget by the user. The default handler for this signal will normally be responsible for inserting the text, so by connecting to this signal and then stopping the signal with GObject.signal_stop_emission, it is possible to modify the inserted text, or prevent it from being inserted entirely.

editable

instance of Gtk.Editable that is emitting the signal

new_text

the new text to insert

new_text_length

the length of the new text, in bytes, or -1 if new_text is nul-terminated

position

the position, in characters, at which to insert the new text. this is an in-out parameter. After the signal emission is finished, it should point after the newly inserted text.
