Gtk.TextIter.prototype.starts_word

function starts_word():Boolean {
    // Gjs wrapper for gtk_text_iter_starts_word()
}

Determines whether iter begins a natural-language word. 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).

Returns

true if iter is at the start of a word
