elm_entry_cursor_pos_set() elm_entry_cursor_pos_get() entry also supports filters to approve or deny text going in - u can filter out undesired chars: elm_entry_text_filter_append() works by callbacks. for race condition... can you expand on that? for clipboard - entry handles it itself and talks to clipboard directly... well selections (primary, secondary). anything else i guess is up to you to insert text from another clipboard yourself if u want other clipboards... now the catch here may be.. python bindings haven't bound everything the c api can do... :( i'd have to check, but i suspect these haven't been bound. :) > Hey, > > Is there a way to set elementary.Entry's cursor position? > When I hit Ctrl-S, Ctrl-R elementary injects 0x12, 0x13, etc bytes in > the entry, so > I get the entry's content (entry_get()), I removes the 0x13 bytes and I set > the entry again with entry_set() function. > The problem is, when I hit shortcut in the middle of the entry it > always jumps the > cursor at the beginning of the entry when entry_set() is called. > I cant control the cursor position.
